I was pleased to discover my book Keeper of the Light: Juliet fish Nichols Fights the San Francisco Fog on the Intermediate List of the Keystone to Reading Book Award, 2023-2024.
Keeper of the Light: Juliet Fish Nichols Fights the San
Francisco Fog by Caroline Arnold and Rachell Sumpter Inspired by the logs of a
female light keeper who kept the light shining through the fog following the
1906 San Francisco earthquake, this adventurous story captures an important
piece of American history.
Many thanks to the Keystone State Reading Association (KRSA) for helping the children of Pennsylvania learn about Juliet Nichols, the intrepid lighthouse keeper on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay during the early 20th century.
The KSRA is a statewide organization of people who are interested in reading instruction, literacy development, and the encouragement of life-long reading habits.
The award list notes authors and illustrators who are from Pennsylvania. I live in California, but I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, so at some level I am a Pennsylvania author too!
