Why Should My Child Read This Book?
This beautiful story demonstrates the power of purpose over might. When we compare ourselves to those who seem greater in size and power, we may lose our sense of worth. But knowing that every creation, no matter how small, has a Divine purpose, allows us to remember that greatness is measured in your willingness to fulfill that purpose rather than your ability to tower over others.
What’s This Book About?
On the Manhattan bank of the Hudson River, a small lighthouse—made of steel and painted bright red—proudly protects boats with his faithful beam. One day a great expanse of gray steel, which also shines a bright light into the fog and darkness, is built over it. The little red lighthouse feels insignificant and useless in comparison but soon learns that the small can be mighty!
