About the author

Huw Aaron

Huw Aaron is a Welsh cartoonist, author and illustrator. 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. Huw’s harshest critics – and his best friends – are his wife Luned and their two daughters.

Praise for Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob

Welsh author, illustrator and graphic novelist Aaron has flipped the traditional bedtime story on its head to create a delightfully different rhyming tale about child monsters and villains settling down for the night. But, rather than causing a fright, it brims with just the right amount of loving cosiness to help mini humans drift off.

Observer

Featuring a catalogue of sleepy monsters from cyborg to yeti, winding down alongside the cute little blob of the title, this rhyming bedtime picture book is a witty, tender mix of the adorable and the appalling.

Guardian

Witty and wholly original ... this (is) a delicious monster-y tale

The Bookseller

A monstrously original twist on a bedtime story... Full of reassurance, humour and brilliant illustrations
