There are also soon to be two new co-editions of Grandad's Camper: Opa's Camper, published in German by Kindermann Verlag; and Antur Taid a Fi, published in Welsh by @graffegbooks.bsky.social. Pre-order the latter here: www.waterstones.com/book/antur-t...
An image of the German co-edition of Harry Woodgate's book 'Grandad's Camper', published as 'Opa's Camper' by Kindermann Verlag. The book cover features the title in fuschia pink text above a pink and cream coloured campervan driving through a countryside landscape illustrated using digital collage and mixed media. In the distance is a sun rising over the horizon, and grey roads winding over green hills. The camper van has two yellow headlights set either side of a grey spare tire mounted to the front of the vehicle, in which sit the author and publisher name. Inside, Grandad (old, white, with grey hair and green glasses, wearing a green sweater vest and blue shirt with checked collar) is driving. Milly (5-7yrs old, brown skin, dark brown curly hair, wearing a beige and pink striped short sleeve top and holding a map) sits in the passenger seat. In between them is Gilbert, Grandad's apricot coloured dog. From the roof of the van flies a Pride flag.An image of the Welsh co-edition of Harry Woodgate's book 'Grandad's Camper', published as 'Antur Taid a Fi' by Graffeg Books.
