Das große Leuchten Lina lebt im Leuchtturm am Meer, umgeben von Möwen, Krebsen und vielen anderen tierischen Küstenbewohnern. Sie füttert sie, sie singt ihnen vor und abends erzählen sie einander Geschichten von Klabautermännern und Seedrachen. Als eines Nachts ein heftiger Sturm tobt, der das Leuchtfeuer zerstört, fürchtet Lina um die Möwen. Denn ohne das Licht finden sie nicht den Weg zu ihr. Doch Lina ist nicht allein: Der Krebs erzählt es der Möwe. Die Möwe fliegt zum Wal. Der taucht ab … und mit ihm kommt aus der Tiefe eine ganze Schar leuchtender Meerestiere, die den Leuchtturm bevölkern: Gemeinsam lassen sie den Leuchtturm erstrahlen, damit in dieser gefährlichen Nacht keiner verlorengeht. Ein bezaubernd poetisches Bilderbuch mit der wichtigen Botschaft: Was du an Gutem in die Welt trägst, kommt zu dir zurück. Mit liebevoll-atmosphärischen Illustrationen der Bilderbuchkünstlerin Nini Alaska. Ausstattung: Mit fbg. Illustrationen
