Their debut picture book Grandad's Camper won the Waterstones Children's Book Award and was an ALA Stonewall Honor Book.

Reviews for Grandad's Pride

"""Beautiful follow-up to Grandad’s Camper, filled with heart and purpose"" * Families, Top Children's Book Picks for 2023 * ""The protagonists of Grandad’s Camper return in this tale of love, identity, and community. Woodgate’s upbeat art brims with color and, aptly, rainbow motifs, depicting a supportive community diverse in race, ability, and self-expression. This is a quiet yet moving read with a powerful message: You don’t need corporate sponsorship or larger-than-life events to celebrate Pride; all you need is love. A winner from beginning to end—and affirmation that Pride belongs in every community"" * Kirkus, starred review * ""In this gladly intergenerational view of Pride, Woodgate offers a familial portrait that twins past and present"" * Publishers Weekly *"
