The Heart and the Bottle

Posted by Lou on Jan 29 2010 | Authors, Illustrators, Picture books

There are books I just long to see and own – The Heart and the Bottle is one of those. I will be on the door step of the local indie bookseller on the 1st of March to grab a copy.

This is the current blurb about the book…

‘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.

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.’

Oliver Jeffers is my all time favourite illustrator and author. The enjoyment of his picture books transcends age as they contain such beautiful messages and from reading the blurb above this one will be no exception. Watch this wonderful clip and be fascinated by the world of Oliver Jeffers…

    Another Oliver Jeffers fan – My little boy and I read his books all the time. How to catch a Star is our fav. Thanks for posting that – he’s such a cool guy! I just bought The Heart and BOttle and nearly cried. Oliver is so whimsical …. his stories and illustrations are so beautiful.
