"Aunt Rosa's House is a wonderful story about every child's search for an adult who will listen to and accept them. Given the increasing pressures placed on today's families, we often find ourselves extremely time pressured. It is hard to find the time to sit quietly and listen to our children. This story is a reminder that we must make the time. The importance of listening to our children cannot be underestimated.

"Share this book with your child. It is a rare and valuable opportunity to connect with them and understand their feelings and concerns and to gain valuable insight. An opportunity, I would expect, every parent would want to embrace. The questions provided at the end of Aunt Rosa's House also offer an excellent opportunity to initiate a meaningful conversation between adults and children." - Peter Seferian, Ph.D., Biomedical Scientist and father of two sons.

Miguel loves to visit his Aunt Rosa for many reasons. She lives in a beautiful house with a big back yard where he can run around and practice his soccer moves.

She teaches him many things-like playing chess, and Spanish words and phrases. And Aunt Rosa loves to tell Miguel about her life in Espa�a, and acquaint him with his heritage.

But most of all, Miguel loves to visit his Aunt Rosa because he can talk to her...and because she listens to what he has to say.

Making Time for Children...

Listening and talking to children is one of the most important learning experiences in life for both children and adults. Children who have someone special to talk with, someone who listens to them, possess a precious gift. Whether they are talking about school, their friends, the games they like to play, or the happy or sad things in their lives, children need to be listened to.

Aunt Rosa's House is written for children, their parents, and the other adults in their lives. The author provides questions at the end of the story to aid adults in an open dialogue with their children.
