If boys aren’t made of frogs and snails and puppy dog tails and girls aren’t made of sugar and spice and everything nice, then what are they made of? A grandfather’s ponderings about what his grandchildren are made of are paired with fun illustrations to create a playful take on an old saying.

Sugar and Snails hits the theme of individuality and not being forced into a box. Why be made of sugar and spice and everything nice when you could be made of monkeys and dirt and lemon dessert?
