The Lighthouse Keeper Series: The Lighthouse Keeper's Tea Award-winning team by Ronda Armitage (author) and David Armitage (illustrator)

A hilarious picture book about of friendship and determination – and that you’re never too old to learn a new trick with a bit of help from your friends! Sea dogs like me are never too old to learn new tricks, I just haven’t found the perfect one yet.

Full of giggles and adventurous fun, rediscover the story of the Lighthouse Keeper 45 years after it was first published
Teaches children about the value of determination and a bit of help from your friends
