The Heart and the Bottle -- Oliver Jeffers

<b>From #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller Oliver Jeffers, comes a poignant and beautiful story about finding joy after loss. <br></b><br>There is a wonder and magic to childhood. We don't realize it at the time, of course . . . yet the adults in our lives do. They encourage us to see things in the stars, to find joy in colors and laughter as we play.<p>But what happens when that special someone who encourages such wonder and magic is no longer around? We can hide, we can place our heart in a bottle and grow up . . . or we can find another special someone who understands the magic. And we can encourage them to see things in the stars, find joy among colors and laughter as they play.</p><p>Oliver Jeffers delivers a remarkable book, a touching and resonant tale reminiscent of <i>The Giving Tree</i> that will speak to the hearts of children and parents alike.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Oliver Jeffers<br><b>Publisher:</b> Philomel Books<br><b>Published:</b> 03/04/2010<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.92lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.22h x 9.12w x 0.47d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780399254529<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 2.5<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>136254 / Heart and the Bottle<br><br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>School Library Journal</i> 02/01/2010 pg. 88<br><i>Booklist</i> 02/01/2010 pg. 50<br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 02/15/2
