The Cool Aunts Guide to ABC's
Author: Paige Hebert
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 31
Book Description
An 'ABC' book of things every cool Aunt wants to teach the children in their lives, in words they may not regularly encounter. This book is a fun spin on a classic style ABC book, bringing important issues of today's world to a kids level using colorful cartoon style images and an Auntie approved glossary to better describe all they have seen, providing a more relatable experience while invigorating their early life learning. You could find words such as Boobies, Consent, Equality, and Love to name a few. These words, to some, may be a little eccentric, which is why it's the job of the "Cool Aunt" ( with approval of the Child's guardians, of course) to keep them in the know. I mean at the end of the day knowledge is power, right?

Otherhood
Author: Melanie Notkin
Publisher: Seal Press
ISBN: 1580055222
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
This “essential read” (Gretchen Rubin) from the author of Savvy Auntie tells the funny, sexy, and sometimes heartbreaking stories of today's well-educated, successful women who expected love, marriage, and children, but instead find themselves in the “Otherhood” as their fertile years wane. More American women are childless than ever before—nearly half those of childbearing age don’t have children. While our society often assumes these women are “childfree by choice,” that’s not always true. In reality, many of them expected to marry and have children, but it simply hasn’t happened. Wrongly judged as picky or career-obsessed, they make up the “Otherhood,” a growing demographic that has gone without definition or visibility until now. In Otherhood, author Melanie Notkin reveals her own story as well as the honest, poignant, humorous, and occasionally heartbreaking stories of women in her generation—women who expected love, marriage, and parenthood, but instead found themselves facing a different reality. She addresses the reasons for this shift, the social and emotional impact it has on our collective culture, and how the “new normal” will affect our society in the decades to come. Notkin aims to reassure women that they are not alone and encourages them to find happiness and fulfillment no matter what the future holds. A groundbreaking exploration of an essential contemporary issue, Otherhood inspires thought-provoking conversation and gets at the heart of our cultural assumptions about single women and childlessness.
