Step into the golden glow of 17th-century Leiden, where a curious boy named Rembrandt van Rijn first glimpses the magic of light—and begins a journey that will change art forever.

In a world of cobblestones and candlelight, young Rembrandt isn't interested in flour sacks or family chores—he's captivated by the way light dances through his father's windmill. When a chance encounter with a master painter opens the door to a world of artistry, Rembrandt discovers that light doesn't just illuminate—it tells stories.

From dusty mill floors to candlelit portraits, The Light Keeper's Son is a heartwarming and inspiring tale based on the early life of one of history's greatest artists. Perfect for readers ages 7–12, this beautifully written story introduces young minds to the power of observation, imagination, and artistic perseverance.

Filled with rich sensory details, gentle historical insights, and the timeless message of following one's passion, this book is a luminous addition to any young reader's bookshelf.
