Against a yellow background, in the top right corner is a large image of the cover of Cynthia Leitich Smith’s picture book HERE COME THE AUNTIES! with the words “Available now” above it. To the left of the book are 3 reviews, each with the reviewer’s icon. The top review from Publishers Weekly says: “a wealth of aunties contribute to an Indigenous child’s day-to-day in this lovingly communal picture book portrait.” The middle review from School Library Journal says: “a raucous and rousing profile of aunties.” The bottom review from Kirkus says: “a rapturous reflection on community worth holding close to one’s heart.” All three reviews are listed as a “Starred review” with a red star. Below the reviews at the bottom left is a smaller image of Cynthia’s picture book HERE COME THE GRANDMAS! with the words “Preorder now” above it. To the right of that, a quote from Cynthia reads: "Aunties—be they by family ties or honorary—are the unsung heroes of good times and bad, a key ingredient for fun, and balm for mental health. ~Cynthia Leitich Smith." Around the whole image are randomly placed red asterisks. At the bottom is “Exclusive Interview” with an arrow pointing to: https://www.sarahsteinbacher.com/blog/interview-cynthia-leitich-smith
