Pádraig Ó Tuama is joined by Oliver Jeffers.Oliver is a visual artist and author working in painting, bookmaking, illustration, collage, performance, and sculpture.

His acclaimed picture books have been translated into over fifty languages, and have sold over 14 million copies worldwide. His original artwork has been exhibited at such institutions as the Brooklyn Museum in New York, the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin, and the National Portrait Gallery in London. Oliver grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and currently divides his time between there and Brooklyn, NY.A full transcript of the episode, along with group discussion questions, is available here.
