I love the illustrations in this book! The endpages reveal the island where Kate lived-in the beginning a close up and at the end, a bird's-eye view. One page the reader must turn the page vertical to view it properly. Additions like this reveal careful thought to the beauty and creativity of the book.
Ms. Redding shares Kate's desire to assist in every aspect of island work, from gardening to husbandry to maintaining the lighthouse under the guidance of her Papa. Her rescue feats surprised the nation. A woman rescuing men! Ms. Redding also incorporates numerous delightful alliterations and onomatopoeias. Her writing is descriptive and her word choice is precise.
*Highly recommend.
