The Heart and the Bottle
Childhood is full of wonder and magic, dreams and imagination, and countless questions. It is full of shapes in the clouds, thoughts about the stars, and carefree joy and laughter. But what happens when the person who encouraged laughter and imagination, wonder and magic, is no longer here? Can the heart grow afraid and lock itself away? Hide inside an empty bottle? And how will it ever come back out?
Oliver Jeffers creates a book with a heavy theme yet a light-footed narrative. He handles loss with such exceptional sensitivity and delicacy that he always guides us toward hope. With his signature skill in balancing between darkness and light—both in his illustrations and in the depths of our souls—Jeffers is liberatingly releasing the torrent of emotions that loss leaves behind.
