Pressestimmen
"Beautifully produced and profoundly moving! It made me cry, and I'm pretty sure I won't be the only one." The Irish Times "Jeffers anatomises loss and the processes of grief with an honesty and ingenuity that will move adults and children of any age." Telegraph "The illustrations are so perfect that they made me want to cry even before the grandpa dies." Sunday Telegraph feature covering 'The best books for all ages'. "Oliver Jeffers is one of the most important picture book artists this country has produced. With almost a million books sold in 19 languages, and countless awards already under his belt, this new title sees him in top form. "From the blue pencil sketches on the end papers, to the clever double-jacket cover, every aspect of this book is beautifully designed, making it a pleasure to hold and read. The illustrations are fantastic, spare, yet full of the emotion, energy, colour and quirky details we've come to expect from Jeffers. When a little girl's father -- a man who understands wonder and delights in sharing it with his daughter -- dies, she is so perplexed by grief she takes out her heart and puts it in a bottle. She wears it around her neck to keep it safe, and there it stays until she grows up and meets someone who knows how to take it back out again. A simple story, yet one full of wisdom and magic. A story which will equally bewitch adult and child, just like a classic children's book should." Irish Independent
Kurzbeschreibung
Es war einmal ein Mädchen, das sich fragte, wie wohl all die Dinge in dieser Welt funktionieren. Es teilte alle seine Träume und seine Neugier mit seinem Vater, der auf jede Frage eine Antwort wusste. Doch eines Tages blieb sein Stuhl leer und würde nie wieder besetzt werden. Wie sollte dieses Mädchen je den Sinn des Lebens wieder finden? Eine wunderbar lebensbejahende und erhebende Geschichte über die großen Themen des Lebens: Liebe und Verlust.

Format:Taschenbuch
Ein sehr schönes Buch, hübsche Zeichnungen, nur leider recht traurig - erst ansehen, bevor man es als Geschenk für ein (kleines) Kind einplant...

A good book for healing.
3. Juli 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
My mother showed this book to me recently and I fell in love with it.
It's simple yet profound, and I think it's a great book for anyone at
any age who is coping with loss. It gives a fresh perspective
on a painful subject. It's like a little dose of medicine.

Who is this book written for?
28. April 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I really like this author and have enjoyed all of his other books. I am really scratching my head over this one though, since I am not sure who this is written for. Here's my understanding: A curious little girl is enjoying a life filled with exploration, love and imagination. She then loses her grandfather (?), and decides to take her heart out of her body and place it in a bottle so she can no longer feel the pain of grief. Many years pass where the girl can no longer enjoy life and it is only after she finds a young child who breaks her heart out of the bottle can she enjoy life again and enjoy the many interests she found worthwhile before the death of her grandfather.
I understand that perhaps the author is trying to point out that closing off your heart to pain also closes out all the beauty in the world. I don't think a four or five year old coping with grief will get that from this book. This book left me feeling very sad for the girl's lost years and it bothered me that the only way she could resume life was through the help of another person?? I appreciate that pain can often be mended by experiencing things through the eyes of a child, but this sort of made it appear that the girl was helpless to do anything for herself to fix the problem.
This does not seem like a picture book for preschoolers or early elementary. I don't see it as being helpful to a child at all. I think the author has a nice sentiment that perhaps would be better served as a gift book for teens or adults, althouth the message to me is still muddled. This author once again shows the great depth of his imagination and creativity but I just don't think kids are well served by this effort. Disappointing.

a beautiful story...and, as always, amazing illustrations
7. Mai 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I thought this was a lovely book, and appreciate Oliver Jeffers's ability to let the reader create their own story out of this simply told, and beautifully illustrated, tale.
It's not really clear if the chair is empty because the man died, or if he has just gone away for a while. Is he even the grandfather? My six year old interpreted the story her own way, that the man went on vacation, and didn't find the story sad at all.
I met Oliver Jeffers a few weeks ago, and asked him about this book in particular, and his answer was that he left it up to the reader to find their own story, which I like very much.
I definitely recommend this book, and all others by this amazing author/illustrator.
