The Heart and the Bottle


By Oliver Jeffers


This is a heartfelt book that shows how young kids might deal with loss. We love it because its clever use of metaphors leave something for all ages to uncover. Young children will enjoy the simple illustrations and text. Older kids will begin to understand the deeper meaning behind the humble storyline. This book prompts meaningful discussions concerning losing a loved one.
