What if crayons refused to color? Can you know everything about the Earth? What’s the best way to get a kite out of a tree? All these questions can be answered through the pictures and books of artist, author, and illustrator Oliver Jeffers. In Oliver Jeffers: 15 Years of Picturing Books, visitors will encounter original artworks from Jeffers’s beloved titles: The Day the Crayons Quit, Stuck, Here We Are, and more.
Born in Australia and raised in Northern Ireland, Oliver Jeffers is an award-winning artist, illustrator, and writer whose distinctive paintings have been exhibited in prestigious institutions worldwide.
