SUMMARY:Storytime Hour: Reading of Kate's Light
DESCRIPTION:Readings at 11am and 12pm \nReading of Kate’s Light\, a story about Kate Walker at Robbin’s Reef Lighthouse by Elizabeth Spires (Author)\, Emily Arnold McCully (Illustrator). \nLiving in the isolated Robbins Reef Lighthouse\, overlooking turn-of-the-century New York Harbor\, Kate Walker spent her life minding the light\, keeping passing ships from running aground on the dangerous shoals. Originally the assistant to her lighthouse keeper husband John Walker\, after his death Kate convinced the Lighthouse Board that she was able to manage the hard work on her own. \nFor more than three decades\, Kate lived a solitary life\, often totally isolated from the mainland by rough seas and dangerous storms. Tending to the lamps and ringing the heavy warning bell\, she helped ships avert disaster– and saved many sailors from the cold\, choppy waters when disaster struck. \nElizabeth Spires describes the joys and hardships of a life at sea\, detailing pivotal moments in Walker’s life to show her indomitable spirit\, and celebrates the determination that drove Kate to keep her home and her livelihood. Paired with Emily Arnold McCully’s atmospheric\, vivid watercolor-and-ink illustrations of lonely lighthouses\, sun-dappled afternoons\, and wrathful storms\, this gripping picture book brings turn of the century New York to life. \nBooks will be available for purchase.
