This heartwarming (and slightly spooky!) tale is the perfect fit for a cozy Halloween storytime! 🌙

Miss Maggie McCullen keeps the Port Carrick light shining bright, but she’s never really alone out there...her faithful feline, Sailor Boy, is always by her side (even if no one else can see him).

But when a fierce storm comes and Miss Maggie needs special assistance, Sailor Boy proves his worth.
