The Heart and the Bottle
What's This Book About
There is a wonder and magic to childhood. We don’t realize it at the time, of course . . . yet the adults in our lives do. They encourage us to see things in the stars, to find joy in colors and laughter as we play. But what happens when that special someone who encourages such wonder and magic is no longer around? We can hide, we can place our heart in a bottle and grow up . . . or we can find another special someone who understands the magic. And we can encourage them to see things in the stars, find joy among colors and laughter as they play. Oliver Jeffers delivers a remarkable book, a tale of poignancy and resonance reminiscent of The Giving Tree that will speak to the hearts of children and parents alike.

Reviews
The illustrations in this touching book are amazing! They are beautiful and add lovely details to the story. This story has a melancholy feel, but ends on a happy note as the girl gets her heart, curiosity, and joy back from a little girl.
