Brief Description:
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 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.
