Once there was a little girl who was very curious about and in love with the world. She and her friend explored the wonder of the world together. They looked at shells and stars and planets and all sorts of new things. Then, one day her friend was gone. His chair was empty. So, the little girl took her heart and put it carefully and safely into a glass bottle. Now, she did not have to feel her feelings and she began to safely forget all the wonders she and her friend had shared. But as life would have it, one day she met someone even younger than herself who was curious and who thought about the wonders of the world just as the little girl had herself once. This made the girl decide she wanted to get her heart back out of the bottle. But she did not know how. Nothing seemed to work. Touching. Poignant. Illustrations are gentle and thoughtful. 32 pages
