School Library Journal - Christmas With Auntie
“Though bunnies are the central characters of the story, their human-like behaviors help readers easily connect with them. Carefully selected words and phrases make the text enjoyable as a read-aloud, and young children will especially enjoy reading this tale on the lap of a treasured auntie. This highly giftable book lovingly celebrates the relationship between a favorite aunt and her young niece or nephew.”
Kirkus Reviews - Christmas With Auntie
“Young readers will love sharing this story with their own aunties at Christmastime…A Yuletide tale featuring irresistible bunnies that also spotlights a cherished relationship.”

Petra Brown has been a children's book illustrator since 2006 when her first picture book If Big Can...I Can, was shortlisted for the Booktrust Early Years Awards for Best Emerging Illustrator. Since then she has been illustrating for a range of publishers in the United Kingdom and abroad. Petra comments, "I love drawing animals with human expressions. I find it such fun creating, for example, a thoughtful fox, a happy hippo, a shy sheep, or a caring bear! The other thing I like is creating landscapes, places where my characters can run about and have adventures. Living in a magnificent place like Snowdonia helps a great deal."
