The Lighthouse Princess

The Lighthouse Princess, the 2021 Storylines Gavin Bishop Award-winning picture book, is a delightful contemporary fairytale about an independent princess who looks after a very special lighthouse lamp, fishes off the balcony, and goes swimming with seals.

This vibrant modern fairytale follows a lighthouse-keeper princess who rescues a boy during a storm. It was the winner of the Storylines Gavin Bishop Award 2021.

"Do you need rescuing from this tower?" he asked her.
"No," she said, "I like it here."

The Lighthouse Princess is almost perfectly happy. She takes care of the light that keeps ships at sea safe, catches fish off the balcony, and swims with penguins and seals.

But one day, a little fishing boat with green sails sets out just as a storm blows up...

Poet Susan Wardell's debut picture book is a celebration of independence and friendship, featuring magical, award-winning illustrations by Rose Northey, recipient of the Storylines Gavin Bishop Award 2021.
