James Foley

James Foley makes children’s books for children who read books. If you’re a child and you’re eating his books, you’re doing it wrong. His latest picture book Happy Barry Capybara is out now.

James is the author/illustrator of the best-selling, multi-award-winning picture book Stellarphant; the sci-fi-comedy Sally Tinker comics Brobot, Gastronauts, Dungzilla and Chickensaurus; the hilarious Secret Agent Mole graphic novel series; and more. His books have received multiple Children’s Book Council of Australia honours, children’s choice short listings, and selections to the International Youth Library’s prestigious White Ravens List.

Legend says James can grow a beard in an afternoon. He lives in Perth with his wife Renae, their 2 kids, and a labrador called Frankie. He is a massive Marvel movie nerd and comes from a long line of queuing enthusiasts.
