He graduated from The University of Ulster in 2001 with First Class honours and has since exhibited his paintings around the world.It has wonderful illustrations and text which both hold the attention of the children and from which they can follow independently after listening to the story.

Every night he watched the stars in the sky from his bedroom window and dreamed of how he could be their friend and how they could play hide-and-go-seek together. His books include How to Catch a Star; Lost and Found , which was the recipient of the prestigious Nestle Children's Book Prize Gold Award in the U. From figurative painting, collage and installation to illustration and award winning picture-books, Oliver Jeffers practice takes many forms. Personally I wasn't sure about the illustrations, they're quite stylised, but this book has quickly become one of my son's favourites. His outstanding talent has been recognised by several high-profile awards, including the Nestlé Children’s Book Prize Gold Award.When my mum and/or dad dies, I'll be sure to not put my heart in a bottle and will, instead, accept those feelings of loss and pain. And I don't think I would have been as lucky as finding someone "small and still curious about the world" like she had.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

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.

I will get through it, and when I do, I'll make sure to treasure every memory I have of them and tell myself that they are not truly dead, because they'll live long in the memories I have of them. It made me realise that while losing someone is, indeed, horrible but shutting yourself away in a protective shell doesn't help the situation nor is it something that person would ever want. Looking forward to getting some more books by this author for my little boy to enjoy when he's a little older. His distinctive paintings have been exhibited in multiple cities, including the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Brooklyn Museum New York.
