The Heart and the Bottle by Oliver Jeffers

Recommended by the Daily CAFE under "Book Looks".
A girl was full of curiosity and wonder about the world and loved sharing her wondering with an adult.  When that adult is no longer there, she decides to keep her heart in a bottle so she cannot be hurt.  As a result, her love for life is contained also.
Simple text but potential for deep conversations with older students.
Strategies: inferring, connections, ask questions, author's purpose, cause/effect
