A mother cat who lives in a lighthouse saves her kitten from a terrible storm. In the illustrations behind this simple, satisfying story, an even more dramatic one unfolds: the famous 1838 rescue of thirteen shipwrecked passengers by heroic young Grace Darling. Expressive watercolors capture the ferocity of the storm as well as the coziness inside the lighthouse in both rescues' aftermath.
