Aaron Blabey is an Australian author and illustrator who has become one of the best-selling children’s book creators in the world. His two major series are The Bad Guys, a chapter book series about reformed villains trying to become heroes, and Pig the Pug, a picture book series starring a badly behaved pug. The Bad Guys alone has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide and was adapted into a DreamWorks animated film in 2022.
Before his breakout series, Blabey published standalone picture books like Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley (2007) and Thelma the Unicorn (2015), both of which won awards in Australia. Thelma the Unicorn was also adapted into a Netflix animated film. Blabey’s illustration style is distinctive, with bold lines and exaggerated expressions that make his characters immediately recognizable. His books are popular with early readers who enjoy physical comedy and stories where the characters misbehave.
