The Heart and the Bottle

March 15th, 2010


This new book by Oliver Jeffers is just lovely. Reminds me of Granpa by John Burningham - in fact it sort of takes up where Burningham finishes. Where Granpa ends on the empty chair - The Heart and the Bottle follows the grieving process to a happier conclusion. Very poignant and lovely. Brilliant for a child experiencing the death of a loved one. I bought this book in the Foyles at Kings Cross St Pancras on my recent trip to London. They have a fantastic Children’s section. Crammed full of absolute gems.

Apple Pie ABC the book is finished and has a publication date of August 2010. It’s published by the lovely people at Orchard. I’ve just put up a holding page for the website you can have a look here. I’m hoping to put up some cool resources for parents and toddlers in the near future.
