Lighthouse Ladies

Kris Coronado's debut non-fiction picture book features the true stories of four intrepid and diverse women of history as they battle weather and waves to save sailors at sea. Their captivating stories are brought to life through the beautiful illustrations of Islenia Mil, adding an extra layer of depth and emotion to each narrative.

"Ahoy! To man a lighthouse over a century ago in America required guts, courage, and bravery. It was a job tackled by hundreds every day, many of whom were not men! This true tale chronicles the amazing feats of four fascinating women. Each real lighthouse lady featured in this book—whether she’s on a wind-walloped Hawaiian clifftop or an icy channel off the Virginia coast—shows that girl power was around long before it became a popular phrase."
