The contrast between the bold use of colour on some pages and the plain white background on others is striking. The lines and illustrations convey meaningful and powerful messages to readers.

The sensitivity through which the difficult subject of loss is explained and illustrated is what captivated me. She finally decides it is time to get her heart out of the bottle. She grows up but loses her interest in the world around her, until she meets a young girl with the same curiosity and wonder she had had when she was a child. To avoid feeling pain, the girl takes her heart and puts it inside a bottle. Now all alone, her sense of wonder and love with the world has gone.

One day, her grandfather is no longer a part of her life and his chair is empty. Here in the books central theme, Jeffers brilliantly captures the little girls sense of loss and mourning of her grandfather as she attempts to protect her heart from ever being hurt again by placing it in the only safe place she knows - in a bottle. There is a young girl whose mind is filled with curiosities and wonders of the world, things she experiences with her grandfather. It is a heart-warming tale of love, loss and the grief and pain that accompany loss. “Feeling unsure, the girl thought the best thing was to put her heart in a safe place.” Author: Oliver Jeffers Illustrator: Oliver Jeffers Publisher: Harper Collins Children's Books
