From figurative painting, collage and installation to illustration and award winning picture-books, Oliver Jeffers practice takes many forms. Finally, just when the boy is ready to give up, he learns that sometimes things aren't where, or what, we expect them to be. His distinctive paintings have been exhibited in multiple cities, including the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Brooklyn Museum New York. 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.

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.

It is an easy, quick read and I’d say Early years children would enjoy it mostly but it would also make a great book for young readers too. He is also well known for his illustration and artwork, and his distinctive paintings have been exhibited in galleries worldwide. Personally I wasn't sure about the illustrations, they're quite stylised, but this book has quickly become one of my son's favourites. The children in my setting loved the story, they are big fans of the nursery rhyme Twinkle twinkle little star, so I knew they would be interested in this. A story about possibilities and disappointments with a triumphant ending, all of which Jeffers captures through the beautifully expressive changing moods of his little boy.This is a magical, beautifully illustrated tale about reaching for dreams… Adults tend to think of waiting as tedious, but the magic of this book is that it understands waiting as children wait - alert, apprehensive and using their imaginations. Looking forward to getting some more books by this author for my little boy to enjoy when he's a little older. 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. After a few failed attempts, and just as he is ready to give up, he learns that sometimes things aren't where, or what, they seem.
