Keeping the Light: A Story about Letting Your Light Shine

By Ali Gilkeson

A coastal tale full of humor, hijinks, and heart from the creators of My Lighthouse, former member of Rend Collective Ali Gilkeson and New York Times bestselling illustrator Lee Wildish.

"Son, it's not our job as lighthouse keepers to decide who does and who does not deserve the light. Our job is to shine the light, no matter what."

Fynn is an expert on light--after all, he's lived under a giant lightbulb his whole life. Fynn's father never turns off the big switch at the top of their lighthouse, but Fynn is pretty sure he knows a better way to do things. When Dad nips down to the corner store, Fynn seizes his chance to save energy by keeping the light on only for deserving vessels. Fynn's dad will be so proud . . . or will he?
