With her beloved father at her side, a little girl loves life – exploring, experiencing and exclaiming at the wonder of the world around her.

But when he is gone, she is completely lost. Protecting herself against more hurt, she decides to put her heart in a bottle where it will be safe. Her heart remains there as she becomes an adult – quiet, careful and absent from all the wonder she used to see.

A glimpse of it suddenly shows itself. Can she retrieve her heart and properly live again?

Simple and stunning. Oliver Jeffers is a master of picture books and what they can share with the world.
