The Heart and the Bottle

The Heart and the Bottle written byOliver Jeffers.
Published by HarperCollins Children's Books 2010.

The books of Oliver Jeffers just touch your heart, whether it is in a bottle or walking along the beach.

'The Heart and the Bottle' is  the story of a little girl whose heart is full of wonder and delight until one day, when faced with emptiness, she puts her heart away in a place where she thinks it will be safe.

From that day on how her life changes. Her wondering and delights, her questions and her thoughts all disappear.  Until she meets someone 'smaller, and still curious about the world'.

This is a story of resilience and hope.

Listen to Helena Bonham Carter read just a little ...but it is more than enough ( for now).
