The Shiny Shenanigans of Aunties and Squirrel

By Ron Roecker

"The sky is the limit to what you can be,
Unless you're a squirrel who lives in a tree!
One check box for boys and one check box for girls.
Placed into boxes, before they're born squirrels.
If you were a squirrel, would you fit your box?
Or would you stay outside & dance in your socks?"

Ron Roecker's "The Shiny Shenanigans of Aunties & Squirrel" is a story about gender role stereotypes, biases and expectations told in an engaging, entertaining, surprising and relatable family adventure for kids of all ages. Book 4 in his wildly popular "6 of 1/ Half Doz of the Other Rhyming Adventure Series" features a loving, multi-generational, extended family, Roecker's signature sing/song writing style, multiple plot twists andl life lessons, endearing characters and a disco ball!!

With a life-threatening acorn shortage, The Aunties and Squirrel are faced with a huge dilemma: change who they are for the greater good or be banned from the village forever. The clever Aunties and Nephew realize they have been preparing for these crucial new roles their entire lives. But they only have one shot at changing their destiny -- and that of every boy and girl squirrel forever. Faced with ancient family secrets to reveal, wise insights to share, uncracked mysteries to solve and life-changing hidden treasure yet to be discovered, will The Three be able to shine and shed light on the most priceless lesson of all?

"Ron Roecker has created an incredible and relatable story that empowers children to overcome gender role stereotypes and view each person as unique, talented and having the responsibility to have their voices heard. I loved the story line and rhyming, which I could use in sessions as a therapist. Ron's book inspires youth to discover who they are while teaching them empathy, self-love and confidence!"-- Dr. Regine Muradian, Children's Author, Child and Family Psychologist
