Up and Down by Oliver Jeffers

Oliver Jeffers is one of our favourite authors. His stunning paintings and simple tales of friendship and love never fail to inspire the imagination. His latest release is the fourth book featuring The Boy and a welcome return of his friend the penguin from Lost and Found.

Up and Down is the story of the penguin striving to achieve a dream on his own. Even when you want to do something on your own, good friends are not far behind and the boy is there to look out for his flying friend. Jeffers has a gift for using simple words to reveal something truly profound. Up and Down tells us about dreams, limitations and friendship so strong that nothing stops you from being by the other’s side. This book is set to join its predecessors as a family favourite which you will love reading over and over.

Up and Down is due to be published on 2nd September 2010, you can pre-order now from Amazon.
