Aaron Blabey’s standalone picture books showcase a different side of his work from the series that made him famous. Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley (2007) is a gentle story about two friends who are complete opposites, while The Ghost of Miss Annabel Spoon (2011) won the Children’s Book Council of Australia Book of the Year for Early Childhood with its spooky-funny rhyming text.
Thelma the Unicorn (2015) became one of Blabey’s biggest standalone hits, telling the story of a plain pony who gets her wish to become a unicorn and discovers that fame isn’t what she expected. Other titles in this collection include I Need a Hug and Don’t Call Me Bear!, both of which feature Blabey’s trademark bold art style and offbeat humor.
