Lost and Found: Oliver Jeffers

Product Information

Oliver Jeffers makes impressive use of space in this affecting story of friendship…illustrations capture feelings of loss and loneliness through the most delicate nuances of facial expression…and body language.

From the rising star of children’s picture books comes the magical tale of friendship and loneliness, a boy and a penguin. His distinctive paintings have been exhibited in multiple cities, including the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Brooklyn Museum New York.From figurative painting, collage and installation to illustration and award winning picture-books, Oliver Jeffers practice takes many forms.

His outstanding talent has already been recognised by several high-profile awards, including the Nestlé Children's Book Prize Gold Award, the Blue Peter Book of the Year Award and the Irish Children's Book of the Year. The expression in the illustrations is lovely - I don't know if our 15 month old appreciates them but I certainly do when reading this to him. Some of the data that are collected include the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously. Oliver Jeffers MBE is an important, award-winning author and illustrator who children can continue to explore on their own or with their classmates.
