Work in progress. Things starting to come together for the new book.
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.
