We’re delighted to announce that the winner of the 2026 Children’s Wainwright Prize Book of the Year is... Otherlands, Thomas Halliday, illustrated by @gavillustrator (@puffinbooksuk) The judges praised Otherlands as a “deeply knowledgeable” and richly illustrated journey that opens up the history of life on Earth for younger readers. Adapted from Thomas’ bestselling adult book, which was highly commended at the 2022 Wainwright Prize, it brings the extraordinary worlds of the deep past within reach of a new generation. Its special achievement is in making complex scientific ideas feel accessible, vivid and full of wonder – encouraging young readers to see the natural world not as something fixed, but as part of a much longer, ever-changing story. #WainwrightPrize #StoriesThatConnect 17 Sep 2026 I’m so happy to share that Otherlands has won the Foyles Children’s book of the year! Huge thanks to the judges and to Thomas Halliday for writing such a magnificent book. Special thanks also go to the incredible design and editorial team at Puffin books @monicawhelandesign who really made this book so special. @puffinbooksuk @foylesforbooks #thomashalliday #foylesbookoftheyear 27 Nov 2025 Corfe Castle Peregrines and Swifts. Summer 2026. Corfe near Swanage is one of the easiest places to spot Peregrine Falcons during the spring and summer months, especially when nesting, or the young ones have just fledged. What’s even better is the castle is on a huge hill, so it’s possible to get some phenomenal views of the them. Sometimes they suddenly appear at eye level when you’re least expecting it, literally flying past your head. Their nest is also very easy to spot high up in the keep. They returned to Corfe during lockdown and continue to do very well there. So head to @ntcorfecastle with some binoculars for some amazing Peregrine views. Or just go there anyway because it’s a lovely place with loads of history. #birds #peregrinefalcon #art #nature #illustration 11 Nov 2026 What can the worlds of the past teach us about the one we live in today? Thomas Halliday and @gavillustrator, winners of the 2026 Children’s Wainwright Prize Book of the Year for Otherlands, share the ideas and imagination behind their illustrated journey through Earth’s lost worlds. From bringing long-extinct creatures to life to exploring what the fossil record can tell us about the landscapes of millions of years ago, they reflect on the fascinating collaboration between science, storytelling and illustration. As Thomas puts it, “Our world is only different from those of the past because it is still here, and we can see it.” Head to our website to read the full interview and discover more about Otherlands.

It was inspired by a poem by Frank Mansell called ‘The Cottagers Reply’, which i discovered after it was put to music by Chris Wood in 2007. Anyway, this started off as a single badger in a summer landscape but it’s taken me so long to finish that it morphed into an autumnal scene. Extra points for anyone who knows our churring friend resting on the fence… #wildlifeart #nature #illustration #artist 29 Sep 2026 It’s been nice to have a change from the book illustration today- here are some Firecrests and a rogue Goldcrest.🪶 #birds #watercolor #art #nature 21 Sep 2026 We are incredibly proud to announce that Otherlands, written by Thomas Halliday and illustrated by @gavillustrator, has won both the Wainwright Children’s Non-Fiction Award and the Wainwright Children’s Book of the Year Award for 2026! 🥳⁠ ⁠ An immersive, fully illustrated journey into the distant past, Otherlands presents an engaging insight into the extraordinary pre-historic world to a new generation of young readers.⁠ ⁠ Discover more about it via the link in our bio 🔗 18 Sep 2026 I’m astonished to discover that Otherlands has been announced as winner of the @wainwrightprize for Children’s Non-Fiction AND the overall winner of the 2026 @wainwrightprize Children’s Book of the Year as well!!
