How to Catch a Star

Product Information

Not sure how to explain it best: the prose is so nicely paced and there's a really good ratio of illustrations to words (more pictures than words), yet there's still a proper narrative to the book. 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. Lost and Found became Oliver's first book to made into animation by London based Studio AKA, screening on Christmas Eve 2008 on Channel 4 in the UK and on Nickelodeon in the US and Australia.

Oliver Jeffers offers a simple, childlike tale of reaching for the stars, and emerging with a friend. Update: have seen some more of this author's work for slightly older children and appreciate the illustrations and the quirky style a bit better now. He graduated from The University of Ulster in 2001 with First Class honours and has since exhibited his paintings around the world. The beautiful child-like innocence and awe we used to have is something he perfectly portrays in his writing and illustrations.He started creating children's books when people wouldn't believe what happened to him unless he pretended he was telling 'stories'.
