A heartfelt and empowering poem from a Black father to his son, celebrating love, resilience, and a child's limitless potential--in a beautifully illustrated gift-ready hardcover edition.

In this affirming picture book, Bernard Mensah speaks directly to the experience of raising a child with care and intention. He acknowledges that every child will stumble, face challenges, and grow through difficult moments--but he emphasizes something even more important: they are never alone. They are supported, valued, and capable of rising again.

With warm, expressive illustrations by Talia Skyles that capture everyday moments of connection between parent and child, You Are a Lighthouse balances tenderness with strength. It is designed to be read again and again, and makes a meaningful gift for baby showers, birthdays, graduation, or a keepsake for milestones big and small.

A celebration of love, resilience, and possibility, this book is one that families will treasure for years.

FULL-HEARTED MESSAGE: A beautiful love letter to children and a reassuring celebration of a parent's unfaltering love and support.

WARM, ACCESSIBLE VERSE: With clear language that will resonate with both adults and young listeners, this loving verse, written from a Black father's point of view, is relatable for all families.

EMPOWERING GIFT: A wonderful gift for children and grandchildren of all ages, as well as for families welcoming a new addition, this book is just right for many occasions, from baby showers to graduations, and for Mother's Day and Father's Day.
