    About this ebook

    If girls are made of sugar and spice and all things nice and boys are made of slugs and snails and puppy-dog tails, what are aunties made of?

    Aunties are not the same. Some are short, some are tall, and some work in offices, and some in a mall. Some go to the gym, and others do yoga on the roof. Other aunties work in tall buildings and type fast, and some create delicious meals for their fans. But any way they are made, aunties are the greatest givers of pure love.

    In this delightful rhyming story, children learn about different cultures, careers, and environments while discovering all the different ways to see their aunties.
