I grew up in Southern Georgia near Savannah, so I’ve been to Tybee Island many times in my life.
The Tybee Island Lighthouse always made me wonder about what it’s like to keep a lighthouse.
As a child, I thought it would be boring and lonely. Now that I’m older, I think I’d love the peace and quiet.
Having kids will do that to you.
But lighthouses are still fascinating structures for children to explore and these lighthouse books for kids are a great way to introduce them to young ones!
These children’s lighthouse books feature non-fiction selections, as well as learning activities and mystery stories that kids will love!
