Armin Sabanovic

Armin Sabanovic is an Australian author, illustrator, and storyteller with a deep love for nature and childhood imagination. His work is inspired by the landscapes of regional Victoria, the rich heritage of his Aboriginal family, and the quiet wonder of the natural world.

His Tillie and Terry series follows two young freshwater turtles as they explore the wetlands, meet curious creatures, and discover the magic of friendship, resilience, and family history. Armin’s gentle storytelling style blends emotion, humor, and environmental themes, making his books a favorite for bedtime and classroom reading alike.

When he’s not drawing or writing, Armin spends time with his wife and children, exploring creeks, collecting stories, and creating art that sparks connection.
