Perfect book for a read aloud, engages the class and has beautiful pictures that relate to the concurrent flow of the story itself.

This lovely tale within a tale follows the dual stories of a young girl, visiting with her great-great-aunt Maita, and of Maita herself, and her childhood on a rocky Maine island, where her father kept the Halleys Head Light. After a terrible storm batters the island, Maita and her father discover a sea chest washed up on the shore, and find a tiny baby inside. Wrapped in a quilt - together with a note reading: "We commit this child into the hands of God. May He save her" - the baby is christened "Seaward," and becomes Maita's adopted younger sister, and (eventually) the young girl's great-grandmother. Many, many years later, Maita tells the story to her young great-niece, who is waiting for her own baby sibling to arrive, from across the seas...

Based upon a folk legend about a baby found washed up on the shore of Maine's Southport Island - a legend that most likely has its origin in C.C. Munn's 1900 novel, Uncle Terry - Buzzeo's The Sea Chest is a magical tale of family and inter-generational love, greatly enhanced by Mary GrandPré's beautiful oil illustrations. I found myself, rather unexpectedly, caught up in its improbable tale of seaside discovery and survival. Recommended to children who enjoy tales of the sea, of lighthouses, or of adoptive families, and to all who appreciate Mary GrandPré's artwork. ( )

Long for a read aloud, a baby is lost at sea, washes up on an island with a lighthouse. The baby is raised by the lighthouse keeper family.

Suggested age: Grade 3+. Genre: Historical Fiction.
Maita recalls to her great-grandniece the story of her early life and the arrival of Maita's sister. Living with only her family on an island, Maita's father had the duty of tending the lighthouse, to keep ships safe. One day, a bundle washes ashore after a terrible storm. Inside the bundle is a chest; inside the chest is a baby. Maita's family names her Seaborne and raises her as their own. This would be a good book to include in a discussion about adoptions with students. It also would be useful for discussing flashbacks, life in the early 1900s, or even Maine history.
