Hello! I’d like to share with you another one of my favourite illustrators.
Today its the ever popular Oliver Jeffers who not only is a fantastic illustrator but also a great story teller,who has written some of the best kids books Ive ever read (yea i still read kids books who doesn’t!)
This picture is from ‘lost and found’ a story about a boy trying to help a lost penguin!
It’s a very heartwarming story and i’d recommend it to anyone,even if your a grown up.
What i love about Olivers work is its so simple,and every picture tells the story so well,so well in fact i doubt the books even need words at all!
He’s also a master of watercolours which I’m very envious of.
*sigh* one day!
For more about oliver check out his site or even better your closest book shop to have a swatch for yourself!
have an osm day!
