I’ve tried to write this post a hundred times but I can’t put it into words. Somehow #Greenwild actually went and won the @Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2024. Thank you, booksellers. This win is the honour of my life 💚🌿 @MacmillanKidsUK @elisaupsidedown

And our overall winner is... Greenwild by @PariThomson! A debut that enchanted our booksellers with its sweeping escapism; a timeless fantasy tale of friendship, mystery, and the magic and beauty in nature (illustration by @elisaupsidedown): bit.ly/3PvX8un #WCBP24

My debut book #Greenwild publishes today and I have spent the afternoon @kewgardens, the place which inspired the story. Sunshine, roses, and an amazing ghost orchid that flowered for the VERY FIRST TIME in the UK today. Magic! ✨🍃 @MacmillanKidsUK
