(2) K-3 Illustrated by Andrea U'Ren. After illness disabled her lighthouse keeper father, Ida Lewis took over his duties. In 1858, at age sixteen, she heroically rescued four boys whose boat had capsized--the first of many rescues during a lifelong career. The stirring events are beautifully visualized in painterly watercolor, ink, and acrylic art. An author's note further highlights the significance of Ida's career.
