Book description
A joyful and vibrant celebration of what makes aunties so special, from Indigenous author and illustrator team Laurel Goodluck and Steph Littlebird inviting all kids to connect with the fierce aunties in their lives. Who do you go to for advice and support? Or when you want an adventure and a little extra courage? Or when you need to find that warrior spirit inside you? Fierce aunties! Aunties come in different shapes, sizes, and ages. They all have different laughs, skills, and stories. They might be your parents' sisters, your older cousins, or even family friends. But there's something they all have in common: They're fierce, they love you, and they'll help make everything better.
