Hello! I have a new picture book coming out! The Butterfly House, will be published by @andersenpress.bsky.social on 9th Oct 2025, and is available to preorder now, from @waterstoneskids.bsky.social & all good bookshops! www.waterstones.com/book/the-but...

A book cover reveal for Harry Woodgate's next author-illustrator picture book, The Butterfly House. The book cover features a colourful hand-drawn illustration, made with acrylic and watercolour paint, ink, pastel, pencil, pen and other materials. The illustration depicts two children (both white, a girl with blonde hair wearing a blue polo shirt and grey skirt holding her hand up to a butterfly, and a boy with short brown hair wearing a blue polo shirt, grey shorts and brown rucksack) in front of a metal framed greenhouse in a lush garden filled with colourful plants, flowers and butterflies. Above, in the sky, the title reads 'The Butterfly House' in teal green hand-lettering. Below, in the grass, is the author name and a subtitle: 'Winner of the British Book Award and Waterstones Children's Book Prize'. The book cover is in the centre of the image. Around it are more illustrated butterflies, as well as a promotional line which reads 'Out 9th October 2025, available to preorder now'.

Last night I went on a flight that had been delayed by over an hour. It really cheered everyone up when shortly after take-off one little girl screamed, "Oh my God, hold on to your seats!" (It was her first flight) 🤣 #travelling

Went in to the garden centre for some tomato seeds. They didn't have the ones I wanted...so I bought one of everything else instead 🙈 #gardening #gardeninglife #happyplace

Whilst I haven't had any news on the publishing front to report, I am happy that 2024 has seen the return of my writing mojo with a bang. Hoping my new picture book texts will catch the eye of an agent in the new year. Wishing you all luck with your 2025 writing goals!!! #writing #writinggoals

Hey everyone 👋 I wanted to introduce myself properly... I first started writing teacher-related, funny poetry around a decade ago, then moved on to the natural next step...picture book writing! 🖋 This one is for all of the incredibly hard-working teachers and teaching assistants out there.

Time for my regular post. You do not need illustrations to submit a picture book text. Please do not pay anyone to create illustrations for your manuscript - you simply don’t need them! A picture book editor will pair your text with a great illustrator. It’s their job (not yours). 😀
