Product Information

In 2007, Jeffers was the official illustrator for World Book Day, and in 2008 Lost and Found became Oliver's first book to made into animation by London-based Studio AKA. Mr. Jeffers captures the love and the poignancy in what is styled as an introduction to a newcomer… Rich colors, witty pictures and a kind sensibility make this book, published late last year, a nice bedtime choice for readers ages 2-6.”– The Wall Street Journal Something of a user’s guide to being alive and to life on Earth, Jeffers brilliantly uses pen and paintbrush to explore profound and puzzling questions, establishing straight off that the wisdom imparted here is wisdom for us all.”– Chicago Tribune

An optimistic snapshot of contemporary life, this heartfelt hug of a book ought to become a classic. Visai kaip ir "Motinų sekmadienis", šita Swifto knygelė - visai trumpa, bet ne tokia lyriška - apie tai, iš ko susideda gyvenimo istorija. "Motinų sekmadieny" jis rodė, kaip vienas gyvenimas nusidriekia per skirtingas soc santvarkas (s korablia na bal), pro karus, per skirtingas ekonomines sistemas, nuo vienos sistemos populiaraus modelio (tarnaitė) prie kitos sistemos madingo modelio (menininkė, rašytoja). Evergrene was Ronnie’s home now. He was happy in it. He was happier than he’d ever been and the Robinsons were happy to have him. Their loving kindness enveloped him. (...) How could you have had one life and then simply exchange it for another?” Moments of human intimacy jostle with scenes that inspire cosmic awe, and the broad diversity of Jeffers’s candy-colored humans…underscores the twin messages that ‘You’re never alone on Earth’ and that we’re all in this together.”– Publisher’s Weekly(starred review) The book includes a huge collection of vocabulary to describe Earth. Can you make a dictionary based on these words?O realybė tokia, kad iki šiol nežinau, ar knyga patiko. Likau sužavėtas teksto lėtumu, rašymo maniera, tais spalvotais potėpiais, bet tik tiek. Kiekvieną kartą, kai paimdavau knygą, atsiverdavo visai kiti vaizdai, buvau įsiurbiamas, o kai tik užversdavau - viskas pasimiršdavo, nuotaikos nelikdavo, vaizdinys išblukdavo. Tuštuma.

From the skies to the animal kingdom to the people of the world and lots of other beautifully rendered examples of life on Earth, Here We Arecarries a simple message: Be kind.”— NPR Graham Swift is no common street performer — he won the Booker Prize in 1996 — but he appreciates the transcendent artistry of small works perfectly performed. His slim new novel, “Here We Are,” transports us to a seaside theater in Brighton, England, during the summer of 1959. It’s about young love and the little acts of chance and villainy that realign lives.Ir vėl, kaip ir "Motinų sekmadienis", toks be galo lengvas, greit perskaitomas (poilsinis) pasakojimas, niekaip nekomplikuotas, neperkrautas refleksijomis, sudėtingomis sąsajomis, žiauriomis scenomis, etinėmis kolizijomis ir jokiais panašiais dalykais. Ir nepaisant to, geras. Toks kaip geras greitas meistriškas eskizas, kur atrodo nieko nėra ypatingo, bet kažkas neįvardijamo pagauta, ir labai gražu. Insightfully sweet, with a gentle humor and poignancy, here is Oliver Jeffers’ user’s guide to life on Earth. He created it specially for his son, yet with a universality that embraces all children and their parents. 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. We have included an activity that encourages your Year 1 \ Year 2 class to complete the sentences by adding in the words or adding in the pictures.
