Oliver Jeffers is an artist, designer, illustrator, and writer from Northern Ireland. Many of his works revolve around themes of exploring unknown worlds such as Earth, space, and the galaxy.
However, these works are distinct from informational literature. He seamlessly weaves touching stories into these grand themes.
Today, we are introducing the book Up and Down, which tells a story about friendship.
In a friendship, even the closest friends may sometimes desire their own time, but what truly defines a friend? A true friend is someone who appears by your side whenever you need them, offering unwavering support and becoming your strong pillar. Regardless of what has happened, it doesn’t affect the mutual support and trust between friends.
The boy and the penguin are inseparable best friends who enjoy doing everything together. However, the penguin has always had a dream: he wants to become a flying penguin. To help his little friend achieve this dream, the boy tries various ways, but the books say that penguins cannot fly. Disappointed, the little penguin discovers that a circus is recruiting cannonball performers and believes that this might be his ticket to the sky. Excited, the little penguin goes to the circus alone… Did his dream come true? We invite the children to find the answer together in the book.
Dad will always love you
whatever you are

Shortly after World War II, a war without gunfire erupted between the United States and the Soviet Union. In 1957, the Soviet Union launched the world’s first artificial Earth satellite, Sputnik 1, into space, ushering in the era of human space exploration and commencing the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
On April 12, 1961, Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft, became the first human to venture into outer space. This development put significant pressure on the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy. On May 25 of the same year, he delivered a presidential speech expressing the determination to land a man on the Moon and set a deadline for NASA to achieve this feat by December 31, 1969. Thus, the Apollo program was born.
This beautifully illustrated 256-page popular science book tells the stories of the 400,000 unsung heroes–the engineers, mathematicians, seamstresses, welders, and factory workers–and their innovations and life-changing technological leaps forward that allowed NASA to achieve this unparalleled accomplishment.
As author John Rocco notes in the epilogue, “Apollo should be remembered not only as the moment that we, as a human race, dared to leave the confines of our home planet to explore another world, but also as a time when we came together to do something that was impossible. What interests me most about Apollo is the grit, determination, and hard work it took to achieve the goal—also the problem-solving, the organization, the science, and the sheer cleverness of it all.”
