The Heart and the Bottle
by Oliver Jeffers
Ages 4-8 years
Once there was a girl whose life was filled with wonder at the world around her. Then one day something happened that made the girl take her heart and put it in a safe place. However, after that it seemed that the world was emptier than before. A gentle story about grief, healing, and rediscovering the wonder in life.
