Picture Books Celebrating Aunts
Children who have aunts who love them are very lucky. An aunt is someone who will whisk a niece or nephew away for day of fun, indulgence, and spontaneity without all the burdens that can weigh down mothers. Just like cousins who are a perfect blend of best friends and siblings, these amazing relatives have a tremendous influence over a child's life. They don't have to worry about homework, extracurricular obligations, chores, bedtimes, nutrition, and all of the other things that can get in the way of fun.
That's not to say that an aunt doesn't care about these things. But the responsibility doesn't have to fall on her shoulders. She is free to spoil her nieces and nephews, break some rules, live in the moment, and drop off special cherubs with their parents when the fun over. These children's books about aunts celebrate everything they do and the positive effect they have on nieces and nephews.
