A small red lighthouse stands on the Manhattan bank of the Hudson, proud of the beam it sends out to the boats below, until a great gray bridge goes up overhead and starts shining a far larger light into the fog. The lighthouse decides it must be useless now. What follows is a quiet argument that small things still have work to do, told in Hildegarde Swift's plain prose and illustrated in full color by Lynd Ward. The lighthouse is real and still stands beneath the George Washington Bridge, and a portion of the sales from this book goes to the Jeffrey's Hook Lighthouse education and outreach programs.
