About this deal

A wonderful book, beautiful illustrations and my 2 year old insists on it being read every night before he goes to bed. In 2013, Jeffers illustrated the vinyl cover (a drawing of Nelson Mandela) for the U2 song "Ordinary Love".

And I don't think I would have been as lucky as finding someone "small and still curious about the world" like she had. Looking forward to getting some more books by this author for my little boy to enjoy when he's a little older. He started creating children's books when people wouldn't believe what happened to him unless he pretended he was telling 'stories'. So one day, he decided to catch a star of his very own… From the shining talent of Oliver Jeffers, winner of the Bisto Award, this inspirational, glittering story captures the magic of reaching for dreams. At an early age, Oliver developed an appreciation of five-letter words and his loves include plastic food, wheels, suitcase handles, Elvis and, despite not having met one yet, polar bears.Oliver Jeffers is a Northern Irish artist and author-illustrator of children’s picture books, including Lost and Found and Here We Are. Althought the story is simple, remember you are reading to a child, my 2 yr old is amazed at how many things have stars in them other than the sky.

His distinctive paintings have been exhibited in multiple cities, including the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Brooklyn Museum New York. The beautiful child-like innocence and awe we used to have is something he perfectly portrays in his writing and illustrations. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Whenever my toddler wakes up from his afternoon nap in inconsolable tears, as he occasionally does for some mysterious reason, this book always immediately comforts him from the opening page.

An inspirational story from internationally bestselling, multi-prize-winning picture book creator Oliver Jeffers. I could see this as a good way to teach children about rather heavy subjects such as depression, anxiety, loss and mourning.
