Children’s Books for Every Occasion: Aunts
My sister is visiting us this week and I thought it would be fun to feature a book about aunts! Here’s a new children’s book for the 9-12 set written by the bestselling author of The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency - The Five Lost Aunts of Harriet Bean (Harriet Bean).
From the book description:
When Harriet Bean’s father mentions that he has five sisters—whom Harriet has never met—she is immediately intrigued. Harriet is determined to uncover the whereabouts of her five lost aunts, but with nothing more than an unfinished family portrait and a few outdated clues, will she be able to locate them? Join Harriet in her search to reunite her father with his five lost sisters—Veronica, Harmonica, Majolica, Japonica, and Thessalonika.
Aunts and uncles hold a special place in children’s hearts. Makes me wonder if I shouldn’t have another child for my grandchildren. ;)

I say go for it. Two is twice the fun ;) And then there is that thing about providing them with an aunt or uncle. I never thought about it until your mentioned it, but I have great memories of dancing on my uncle’s feet when I was little.
The things you remember! :)

In my next life, I am not going to bother being a parent, I am just going to be a fun uncle. All the love, none of the responsibility.
