In 2013, Jeffers illustrated the vinyl cover (a drawing of Nelson Mandela) for the U2 song " Ordinary Love". Jeffers also co-directed (with Mac Premo) the video for the U2 song "Ordinary Love". Two years later, Jeffers contributed video content to the band's Innocence + Experience Tour, creating the chalk drawings and collages for the "innocence" act of the show. [5] Audience: This is a fantastic book for kids who like funny, silly stories. It is great for kids who like to read for humor as well as for teachers looking for a book to teach the reading strategy of making predictions. It would also be a great choice for a teacher looking for a book to use as a spring board for a fun writing assignment or a lesson on problem and solution. The larger size and non-conventional printing of the text as well as the strong illustration to text correlation would make it a good choice for a frustrated or reluctant reader to have a fresh fun start with a book. Winner – Children's Book Council 2014 Children's Choice Book Awards (Kindergarten to Second Grade Book of the Year) The Day The Crayons Quit (illustrator)

Make a model of a tree and put some unusual items in it to recreate one of the illustrations in the book. Jeffers artwork consists of figurative painting executed on either canvas or three-dimensional objects, both found and made. His solo show Additional Information, ( Belfast December 2006) studied the balance between form and content by drawing parallels between the arts and sciences, in which figurative oil paintings were over laid with mathematical equations. The story is written in the third person. Can you rewrite it in the first person, from Floyd’s point of view?Winner – The Hay Festival of Literature and the Arts 2014 Inaugural Hay Medal for an Outstanding Body of Work Persistence: Floyd's relentless attempts to retrieve his kite, despite the growing absurdity of his situation, showcase his determination and resilience. Persistence is a crucial trait for students to learn as it encourages them to persevere in facing challenges. In 2020, Jeffers delivered a TED Talk, ‘Ode to Living on Earth’, which was released on Earth Day. [8] and Jeffers Illustration book Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth is adapted to a short film by Apple TV+. [9]

Winner – The New York Times Book Review One of the year's Best Illustrated Children's Books for The Hueys in The New Sweater Activity: Students can draw or write about an unusual object they would throw into the tree to help Floyd, explaining why they believe their choice would be effective. Activity: Before revealing each outcome, ask students to draw what they think might happen based on Floyd's action. This activity encourages critical thinking and allows students to anticipate effects based on causes. Look around your school grounds / local area. Is there a tree big enough to hold all of the items that Floyd threw up? Rosita Boland (23 November 2012). "Banville wins novel of year at awards". The Irish Times. Archived from the original on 20 January 2013 . Retrieved 23 November 2012.Can you think of a time when you tried to solve a problem that didn't go as planned? What was the result? Winner – Prix des libraires du Québec 2017 international youth, for the illustration of The boy who swam with piranhas From figurative painting and installation, to illustration and picture-book making, his work has been exhibited in New York, The Brooklyn Museum, Berlin, Dublin, London, Sydney, Washington, D.C., and Belfast. [ citation needed] What else could Floyd have thrown into the tree? Write a new part of the story where he throws other objects up into the tree. Watch this video in which the author talks about things that he wasn’t able to include in the story:

Write the story that explains how the different people / animals / objects got themselves out of the tree. Look at the different illustrations of the tree in the story. Although it is the same tree, it is coloured in different ways. Can you draw the same thing lots of times and decorate each one with different colours? How does this alter how the picture looks? Which one do you prefer? This book is ideal for young children in an Early Years setting as well as in Key Stage 1 (ages 4-7 years) as it is a very simple story that is based around child humour. The story is great for questioning and getting children to imagine and come up with their own ideas. What’s going to happen next? How is Floyd going to be able to get the kite down? The story allows for lots of discussion and open-ended questions, children are fully involved in the story and they will find it so funny to predict what is going to happen next. I love how the end to the story is also left open-ended, allowing for even more discussion and encouraging children to use their imaginations! This story would be a great foundation for introducing story-telling; getting children to write their own endings to stories, or even for children in the Early Years to draw or use role play to tell their story endings.

Curriculum

The author uses lots of ellipses in the story. Why is this? Can you write a sentence / paragraph / story that include ellipses? Sequential Actions: The story's sequential actions provide clear cause and effect relationships, which is essential for understanding this literacy skill. Sandberg, Marian (29 June 2015).

Resolution that Ties to the Beginning: The story ends where it began, with Floyd and his kite. This full-circle resolution aids in understanding the sequence of events.

Activity: Ask students to create a cause and effect chart. They should list each item Floyd throws into the tree (cause) and what happens to it (effect). This helps them understand how cause and effect relationships contribute to the sequence of a story. You can also use cards like the one in the image below.
