'The Sea Chest' by Toni Buzzeo is a tender and remarkable story of a little girl's solitary life on a lighthouse island. With only her parents for company, Maita bakes pumpkin pies, takes care of the hens, climbs the rocky cliffs on the island, and prays for a baby sister. One dark and dangerous night Maita's prayers are answered. As a terrible storm sends a ship to the depths of the ocean, it sends her a sea chest containing a special gift. Through an extreme act of love, Maita receives a 'gift that would change her life forever'. You'll truly enjoy reading this heart-warming story and beautifully illustrated picture book as Maita tells her story to a grandniece who awaits her very own,'gift from the sea'.

This little girl has other plans for her sleeping family. She gets out her horn, and you can guess what happens next! This simple good morning story is a great read-aloud choice for younger preschoolers.
