About the Author

Joe Jurek is making his debut as a children's book author with "They Don't Make Books About Uncles." When his niece was born, he went to the bookstore to buy her an Uncle book. He found books about mommies & daddies, and brothers & sisters, and grandmas & grandpas, even books about aunties... but no books about Uncles. So he wrote this one! Joe is a graduate of the University of Illinois and of the Second City writing program. He is currently a copywriter in the Chicagoland area.
