Only in his forties, he has published an array of hugely popular books, both as illustrator and author-illustrator, including \u003cem\u003eHow to Catch a Star\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBegin Again\u003c\/em\u003e. This overview of his life and work so far will chart his passion for the environment and his quest to understand humanity's major challenges, and the impact this has had on his creative and intellectual output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe list of Jeffers's accomplishments is long and glittering: he has been granted numerous one-man shows both in the United Kingdom and the United States and was appointed an MBE in 2022 for services to the arts.

His regular exploration of existential issues, both through illustration and other media, such as site-specific installation, has exerted a major influence on the practice of authorial picturebook-making.
