In "The Sea Chest" by Toni Buzzeo, a young girl named Harriet discovers a mysterious chest washed ashore after a storm. Inside, she finds items from a shipwreck, each telling a story of adventure and loss. As she explores its contents, Harriet learns about the dangers and wonder of the sea, sparking her imagination and connection to her maritime heritage. The book beautifully illustrates themes of curiosity, resilience, and the importance of storytelling, as Harriet honors the memories of those lost at sea while cherishing her newfound treasures and their stories.
