![]() ![]() The comparisons to Celeste Ng (especially Little Fires Everywhere) are pretty accurate. Be it a complex view of our planet’s terrain (bumpy, sharp, wet), a deep look at our place in space (it’s big), or a guide to all of humanity (don’t be fooled, we are all people), Oliver’s signature wit and humor combine with a value system of kindness and tolerance to create a must-have book for parents. He created it specially for his son, yet with a universality that embraces all children and their parents. Insightfully sweet, with a gentle humor and poignancy, here is Oliver Jeffers’ user’s guide to life on Earth. Oliver Jeffers, arguably the most influential creator of picture books today, offers a rare personal look inside his own hopes and wishes for his child–and in doing so gifts children and parents everywhere with a gently sweet and humorous missive about our world and those who call it home. Oliver Jeffers creates some truly beautiful picture books and is my go-to for people who wants gorgeous illustrations and something more existential in its storytelling. ![]()
