His original artwork has been exhibited at such institutions as the Brooklyn Museum in New York, and the National Portrait Gallery in London. Jeffers has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Books Award, Bologna Rigazzi Award, and an MBE from Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth for Special Services to the Arts.
