Shirley's Lighthouse is another children's book authored by Krzysiek Mlodzik that offers your child gaps and spaces to illustrate the text of the story. It invites a child to use their imagination and create their own pictures. Shirley - like many children nowadays - finds it hard to accept that her parents can not always be with her. She has her passions and a place that she loves, though she desperately craves more time and attention from her mum and dad.

''...Despite her Father's talk, Shirley worried. And despite the fact that each day they all had a few hours of family time, Shirley grew increasingly more sad and frustrated. She still thought the reason why her parents didn't have more time and attention for her, was that she was less important to them than their work and the other things that kept them busy...'' ''...I know it is not easy for you, but life is often quite challenging, my dear. I like to see these moments as a reminder of how strong we really are, how much power we posses deep inside to face a challenge. It can also remind us of the beauty which lies in every single moment that we have a chance to spend together. It's an important reminder to enjoy these times in the best possible way...''
