Harry Woodgate (pronouns: they/them) is a multi-award-winning author and illustrator, whose debut picture book Grandad’s Camper won the British Book Award for Children’s Illustrated Book of the Year and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, was shortlisted for the Polari Prize, and named as an ALA Stonewall Honor Book. When they’re not creating amazing books, they love writing music, cycling, baking, and exploring independent coffee shops and bookstores. Grandad's Camper was inspired by their university dissertation, which revealed a lack of representation for older LGBT characters in children's books.
