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'.

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!

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

Our entries over the years haven't always been in tune so I'd call that a solid performance!!

Why did Ukraine's song start with notes only dogs can hear?? #eurovision

Aside from when I am writing, my garden is my happy place. I hope you all have somewhere you can go where you feel at peace. #gardeningismytherapy #happyplace

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

British novelists criticise government over AI ‘theft’ Richard Osman and Kate Mosse say plan to mine artistic works for data would destroy creative fields

"If you want to use a copyrighted work, you ask permission, and then you pay for it. Anything else is theft, and anyone arguing for anything else is harming the UK creative industry."
Amen to @richardosman1.bsky.social on the government's pernicious AI proposal.
