Come along and meet visual artist and bestselling author Oliver Jeffers as he joins us to sign copies of his new picture book, Where to Hide a Star – a brand-new story featuring his much-loved characters, the boy and the penguin. The new book’s publication will be a pinnacle moment in a year that celebrates the 20th anniversary of Oliver’s debut picture book, when we were first introduced to the boy and the penguin in, How to Catch a Star.
