Sisters of Scituate Light

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stacey Schuett. During the War of 1812, a lighthouse keeper's daughters spot a British warship approaching. The fast-thinking sisters trick the British marines (portrayed as buffoons) into believing that American soldiers are advancing by playing "Yankee Doodle" on a fife and drum. Bold-hued double-page spreads make use of light and shadow to enhance this historic drama based on a true incident.
