Oliver Jeffers is one of my favourite children's books illustrators and is incredibly popular at the moment in the world of illustration.
Here in Lost and Found we have the story of a friendship between a young boy and a penguin, and an adventure.
Friendship is a key aspect in another one of Jeffers book, The Way back Home, when a boy meets an alien on the moon and tries to help him get home, although for a while he accidentally forgets the alien, which is a priceless humour of how easily people can get distracted making both adult and child laugh.
How to catch a star, was Jeffers first picture book
I really like the use of the washed colour boarders that are authentic rather than being shaped and cropped
Here is a short film I found on Jeffers webpage about himself that was fairly interesting
