From Waterstones Prize-winning Harry Woodgate, this stunning picture book shines a light on mental health, and how kindness, community and gardening can help heal the body and mind.
To others, Miss Brown's wild and overgrown house at the end of the road is scary, but to Holly it's like something out of a fairy tale. Holly reaches out to Miss Brown and discovers that she isn't scary at all: her brain has been ill for a while, and the wildness has spilled out. Can their budding friendship, and a bit of help with the butterflies in her garden, encourage Miss Brown to feel like herself again?

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Harry Woodgate (they/them) is a multi-award-winning author and illustrator, whose debut picture book Grandad's Camper won the British Book Awards 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. It was inspired by their university dissertation, which revealed a lack of representation for older LGBTQIA+ characters in children's books. Their work has also been shortlisted for the V&A Illustration Awards, and the Folio Society Book Illustration Competition twice. When they're not creating amazing books, they love writing music, cycling, baking, and exploring independent coffee shops and bookstores.
