A Little Blue Bottle
by Jennifer Grant (Author) and Gillian Whiting (Illustrator)

Booktalk: A young girl tells the story of losing a beloved neighbor and friend. After her neighbor dies, she remembers playing with her neighbor’s cat, stories that her neighbor told her, and the special mementos her friend kept on a shelf above her kitchen sink, including a little blue bottle she kept to remind her of Psalm 56:8: “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.”

Snippet:
I try to imagine my tears falling into
a blue bottle and God saving them,
every single one.
