By Oliver Jeffers
Jeffers' sixth and best book deals with grief. A little girl loses her father and consequently her wonder at the world. She protects her heart from further suffering by placing it in a bottle around her neck. Jeffers' carefully crafted words complement his clear, considered pictures, allowing readers to put their own emotions on the page. This book is for everyone aged between 4 and 104.
