Midnight at the Lighthouse
by Lesley Dowding
Description
The book provides art and storytelling activities suitable for education and family. The author and illustrator are highly skilled teachers, whose passion is to develop children’s visual and oral imagination.
Thomas’ desire to see and paint the illuminated lighthouse and Aunt Jenny’s promise to take him there at night leads to an exciting adventure with the wind and sea twisting and curling like liquorice sticks.
The wind becomes a character in the narrative.
Is it the lighthouse that rescues the pair or the ghost of a ship’s cat with its trusty friend Diamond Jack?
This book would appeal to all readers who are passionate about lighthouses. It is also for those who believe a character can be saved by the power of imagination. The recording on the CD is performed rather than read which creates an atmosphere for the listener.
Each page is an individual painting.
The paintings of the lighthouse are taken from Cape Egmont Taraanki North Island New Zealand.
In the tradition of storytelling, the language is that of a story told not read.
This books is a visual delight for sea faring folk a rich choice of colour and various overlays create a background for the well crafted text.
