Badgerman wins big!

Badgerman’s PKU Journey has just scooped a Golden Wizard Book Prize, and it’s a win that feels both joyful and important. This bright, big‑hearted adventure—written by Susan Waplington and illustrated by Andy Case—has been quietly building a community of young readers who see themselves in Badgerman’s world of curiosity, courage, and learning. Now it’s officially award‑winning.

At its core, the book turns a complex subject--PKU—into something warm, accessible, and empowering. Badgerman’s determination, supported by Fox, Frog, and Mole, shows children that difference isn’t a barrier to adventure; it’s part of what makes a hero.
The Golden Wizard judges praised the book’s emotional clarity, vibrant artwork, and its ability to spark conversations in classrooms and at home. For families navigating PKU, it’s a story that says: you’re not alone, and your journey matters.

With this award, Badgerman’s PKU Journey steps into the spotlight as a standout children’s title of the year—one that blends heart, humour, and hope in a way young readers remember.
