Book Review: Hello Lighthouse Recently I’ve read a new book called Hello Lighthouse written by Sophie Blackall. I knew this book because it won the prize of 2019 Caldecott Medal. I’ve sung this book unaccompanied and made the video with subtitles for it. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD8DR7k3jPo I really like this book! The story is very simple but touching and quiet but powerful. It describes the daily life of a lighthouse keeper. He spent most of his life guarding the lighthouse. Also the lighthouse witnessed the life track of the keeper. At first he is alone and then his wife came and at last they had their child. The whole family lived their life in the lighthouse. Together they watched the horizon. But at last because the technology has advanced, the work of lighthouse keeper is replaced by machine. The keeper and his family had to wave farewell to the lighthouse. As time goes by, something will change but something will remain. Something will leaver but something will stay. We cannot control it but everything will become the precious memories of us. Nevertheless, the illustration of the book is very beautiful. The details are great. Hope you enjoy this story as much as I did.
