About Huw Aaron: Huw Aaron is a Welsh cartoonist, author and illustrator, and the creator of the bestselling Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob and Unfairies, both of which were shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2026 - a historic achievement. After a short and fairly hopeless career in finance, Huw found a niche as a magazine cartoonist, producing joke cartoons for, among others, Private Eye, Prospect and The Spectator. Huw then started making comics and illustrating children’s books in his native Welsh. Since 2013, he has written or illustrated over 60 Welsh-language books, and has won numerous awards including the 2023 Tir na n-Og and Welsh Children's Book of the Year prizes. He was also founding editor of the comic Mellten, and presented the weekly art programme Cer i Greu on S4C. His newest stories are Monkeypig and Unfairies: Death by Toad. Huw’s harshest critics – and his best friends – are his wife Luned and their two daughters.

“All creatures grim and evil, under the tired sun, are settling down - and so must you, my horrible little one…” 
 
It’s time to go to bed, and whether you are a phantom, a vampire, a Dark Lord or a yeti, you still must brush your teeth, put on your pyjamas, and settle down with a cosy story. 
 
Full of warmth and humour (and slime!) this rhyming bedtime book will disgust and delight sleepy little monsters everywhere.

Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob

Molly lives in the jungle with all the other monkeys, dancing and playing and being silly among the treetops. 
But Molly has a secret. 
 
Molly is a pig. 
 
When Norman becomes suspicious that an imposter has infiltrated the monkeys, he sets them all some monkey tests. 
 
Will Molly be discovered?

Monkeypig

Prepare to enter the world of the Unfairies! Where battles are epic, mighty and mega . . . though on a slightly miniature scale (just don't tell them that . . .) 
 
 
Some stories will tell you fairies are sweet, kind, magical creatures. 
 
Well, those stories are WRONG. It’s time everyone knew the TRUTH! Fairies are sneaky, cunning and about as magical as slugs. 
 
Join our impulsive, hilarious and somewhat surprising hero Pip on a breakneck adventure among the warring unfairy tribes of The Garden. 
 
Expect sinister plots, epic acorn-based warfare, a dubious ancient prophecy, thrilling centipede chases . . . and a hero who doesn’t give two hoots about anything.

Unfairies

PREPARE TO RE-ENTER THE GARDEN. 
 
Pip is now the ruler of Oakhold. Yay! But there's already trouble. Boo! 
 
Shockingly, it turns out Pip is actually a pretty rubbish leader. Something sinister is stirring in the garden - and Pip could not give two hoots about tackling it. 
 
That is, until she sends her best friend Twig out on a heroic mission, and he is KIDNAPPED. Now it's up to Pip and a most unlikely ally to get him back - and try their best to avoid . . . DEATH BY TOAD.
