Lunch with Aunt Augusta

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with self-regulation or the physical discomfort that comes after overindulging in sweets or a big holiday meal. It is a gentle, humorous way to discuss the concept of enough without being preachy or shaming. Through the story of three lemur siblings visiting their aunt, the book explores the natural consequences of our choices in a relatable way. While the story centers on a jungle lunch, its emotional core is about responsibility and the realization that our physical state affects our ability to participate in fun adventures. It is perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students who are beginning to navigate independence and the boundaries of their own appetites. Parents will appreciate how it uses a loving family setting to model the importance of listening to one's body.
