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'.

Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!

I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.

Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

Autumn is like a giant art project. The more you look, the more shapes you'll find!

Section of a bigger design. I've used an autumnal colour palette too with shades of brown and complimentary bright tones 🦊 🍂 🌰

I'm sharing a section of my doggie design which will also be made into a puzzle 🐶

For now, I'm not too sure when it will be launching. Most probably at the end of this year or early 2026.
