About this title: The little red lighthouse proudly warns the many ships on the Hudson River of the rocks they should avoid. Then a massive bridge is built nearby, and its towering lights seem to make the lighthouse unnecessary. But when a heavy fog rolls in, it's the lighthouse's bright lamp that protects the boats, and the lighthouse has plenty to be proud of once again.

"One of my favorite children's books of all time from when I was a kid. And did you know you can actually go see the Little Red Lighthouse, its located at the base of the eastern pier of the George Washington Bridge in New York City.
That and a Lighthouse with an inferiority complex, and a worrier...you can't go wrong with that!"
"A wonderful story about believing in yourself and the uniqueness that is every individual. This was a favorite of mine growing up. For years my dad would taunt me that The Little Red Lighthouse didn't really exist-that it was just a myth-but I believed and defended it's existence even though it was years before I would see it for myself.
This book was also so beloved that when it became known the lighthouse was to be demolished, area children protested and saved the landmark. It still stands beneath the GW, hopefully a permanent fixture."
