About the book

Every evening, Pilar climbs the hill and lights the lantern, because her grandmother lit it, and her grandmother's grandmother before that.

Nobody thanks her. Nobody watches. But every night, somewhere out on the water, somebody finds their way in.

A gentle, beautifully illustrated story for readers aged 4 to 8 about duty, patience, and the kind of bravery nobody applauds.
