I became an
aunt four years before my
daughter was born and can still remember the joy of my
nephew's arrival! Being an aunt when you don't have any
children of your own is a rather special role as
Caroline Hughes depicts in her light-hearted tome,
The Aunts' Book, published by Michael O'Mara Books.
Apparently there is a new breed of aunts –
PANKs (Professional Aunt, No Kids) – who prove that
aunts can be
cool while
mum has to be sensible.
And according to one study from the
Institute of Education, London, 30 oer cent of current
female graduates expected never to have children. So for many
women being an
aunt – or an
honorary aunt to friends' children – will be their only
contact with the next generation!
The Aunts' Book covers topics ranging from the
type of aunt you are (from trendy to educating) to
baby-proofing your home and fun ways to occupy
nieces and nephews. Plus there are true stories about
amazing aunts.
A fun
present to offer someone who has just become a
PANK, Caroline Hughes'
The Aunts' Book may inspire the reader to to be a child's best ally in the
family.
The Aunts' Book: For The Aunt Who's Best At Everything is available from Amazon.
