Lighthouse Ladies with Kris Coronado

The derring-do of Shark Lady meets the inspiration of Mae Among the Stars in the true stories of four intrepid and diverse women of history as they battle weather and waves to save sailors at sea. Kris Coronado's debut nonfiction picture book, perfect for fans of Hello Lighthouse, is brilliantly illustrated by Islenia Mil.

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 and dramatic feats of four fascinating women. Each real heroine featured in this book — whether she’s on a wind-walloped Hawaiian cliff or an icy channel in Virginia’s Eastern Shore — shows that girl power was around long before it became a popular phrase.
