Does your child have a special aunt in his or her life? Mine sure do--my sister, who could probably win any "aunt-ing" award out there. Savvy Auntie: The Ultimate Guide for Cool Aunts, Great-Aunts, Godmothers, and All Women Who Love Kids is a fantastic new book that celebrates all types of "PANKS" (Professional Aunt No Kids), including Aunties by Relation, Great-Aunts, Aunties by Choice, Single Aunts, Married Aunts, and Gay Aunts. Author Melanie Notkin is an expert--she founded the wildly popular website Savvy Auntie (think of it as UrbanBaby for aunts). She is a smart, snappy writer, and her book provides excellent guidance and advice for this fast-growing segment of the female population. Savvy Auntie addresses everything from lending a hand with a newborn niece or nephew, to making (part of) an aunt's home child-friendly, to dealing with the niece or nephew's occasional, inevitable meltdowns. And, of course, there are ideas for how to spoil one nieces or nephews--birthday surprises, anyone? Buy Savvy Auntie: The Ultimate Guide for Cool Aunts, Great-Aunts, Godmothers, and All Women Who Love Kids ($15.23) at Amazon.com. It makes a super birthday gift (or anytime gift) for a favorite aunt.
