Once upon a time, there was a little lighthouse on a lonely rock island. Every evening, its devoted caretaker, an old man, would climb the winding stairs to switch on the bright light that guided passing ships through darkness and storm. But one night, a playful argument begins. The old man insists that his work matters most-after all, without him, the light would never shine The lighthouse's glowing beam disagrees, claiming that ships depend on its brilliance to stay safe at sea. Just when their quarrel grows loud, the rock island, the waves, the storm, and even the night sky join in with their own voices. Each character believes it has the most important role, until they discover a surprising truth: none of them can shine alone. Safety, beauty, and wonder come only when all of them work together. This gentle, imaginative story-told with warmth and whimsy-teaches young readers about teamwork, respect, and the quiet power of cooperation. With vivid illustrations and a touch of humor, it invites children to seek the world as a place where every role matters, no matter how big or small. Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom sharing, or inspiring conversations about kindness and community. The Little Lighthouse will light up hearts of all ages.
