Savvy Auntie by Melanie Notkin

Savvy Auntie by Melanie Notkin

Empowers sophisticated, educated, and independent aunts to connect with their inner-Savvy Auntie by sharing everything she needs to know from the minute she discovers her sister or friend is expecting, to confidently lending a hand with a newborn niece or nephew, to keeping up with the walking, and talking growing-oh-so-fast bundles of energy.
