(3) K-3 Illustrated by Steph Littlebird. A Native girl celebrates the matriarchal figures who guide, affirm, and empower her. Bold digital illustrations, with strong black lines, vibrant colors, and soft textures, depict lively, loving aunties engaging in cultural activities, community advocacy, and everyday acts of care. The spirited text describes how they nurture, protect, and inspire Native children to be brave and proud. An insightful author’s note honors real-life aunties and invites readers to cherish and recognize the fierce women in their lives.
