Oliver Jeffers is an Australian-born Northern Irish artist, illustrator and writer who now lives and works in Brooklyn.
He is widely known for his picture books for children and famously uses mixed media for his style of illustration.
In 2007, Jeffers was the official World Book Day Illustrator and has since had some of his stories made into animations.
In 2017, Jeffers wrote and illustrated Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth, a children's book which topped the New York Times Bestseller list in its debut and won Time Magazine's 2017 Best Book of the Year award in the Young Adult and Children's Books category.
