Aunty B's House is a Canadian short-form comedy series for children, which premiered in 2023 as part of the CBC Kids block on CBC Television.[1] Designed to highlight the stories of children living in foster care, the show stars children's entertainer and educator Khalilah Brooks as Aunty B, a woman who is caring for foster children Khadijah (Nendia Lewars),[2] Shelley (Claire Poon)[3] and Zachary (Luke Dietz).[4]

Inspired in part on Brooks's own experience having grown up in foster care,[5] the series is based on theatrical shows that Brooks had already performed as Aunty B for a number of years prior to the launch of the television version.[6]
