The Lantern

By Gary Crew About · Illustrated by Bruce Whatley About

When Aiden’s father goes missing in a storm at sea, the boy’s mother tells him to light a lantern and put it in his window. Aiden thinks this is to guide his missing father home—but could he be mistaken? This is a beautifully written picture book about coming to terms with the loss of a family member.

An inspiring story by multi-award-winning author Gary Crew, and beautifully illustrated by Bruce Whatley.
