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.
