That's...Niamh, this was a Reading Rainbow book. That's what you might be remembering in terms of being read to. It was read by an actress named Sada Thomson; she was librarian-ish. I used to cry when she read it, too.

It was either read to me by ...I remember that book! It was either read to me by a school librarian or I am manufacturing the memory altogether. Either way, I thought that story was incredibly empowering with the little girl taking it wholely upon herself to do her father's duty, simply because it was a duty to be done for the saving of the lives of others, regardless of the difficulty of getting the task done. Books about storms definitely good to have on hand when anticipating a big storm...also you need to have everything ready to make bread in the fireplace this time (since you didn't get to last time). <br />Maybe Zac will tell us how one came about obtaining the position of lightkeeper? I have wondered about this ever since Pete's Dragon. Does the town decide they need a light house? Does someone on their own initiative decide to build the lighthouse and keep it? Who pays for the fuel to keep the light and pay the keeper?
