The heart and the bottle by Oliver Jeffers

The heart and the bottle by Oliver Jeffers. HarperCollins, 2010. 


A tale told as much through the illustrations, as the text. 
A young girl has a very close relationship with her grandfather - and after his death, she changes and puts her heart away in a bottle. Then a new curious little girl arrives in her life - but her heart is locked away. 

An allegorical tale of the long-term damage and hurt caused by grief.
