Dive into the museum's interactive exhibition, Oliver Jeffers: Life at Sea, during an evening of conversation and storytelling. Oliver Jeffers celebrates his latest children’s book, I’m Very Busy, with a behind-the-scenes look into his creative practice—and shares why the ocean is key to caring for our planet. He is joined in conversation by Mary Annaïse Heglar, a New Orleans–based author known for essays exploring the climate crisis and environmental grief.  

Copies of I’m Very Busy are available for purchase, and the program is followed by a book signing.
