Inspired by his nieces, Jake Gyllenhaal teamed up with best friend Greta Caruso and illustrator Dan Santat on 'The Secret Society of Aunts & Uncles.'
At the center of the story is 10-year-old dance-loving Leo and his clueless Uncle Mo, a stationery supply salesman who just doesn’t get it. Until, that is, the pair get a crash course in the sacred art of Auntiology and Uncleology. Lesson one? Bedtime is always three minutes before Mom and Dad get home.
JG: I was so excited when my sister first had Ramona, my eldest niece, who's now 16, and I was thrilled to just be like, "I'm Uncle Jake." I've had uncles and aunts, and to have that title... I was pretty proud. JG: Well, my oldest niece is just brilliant, so she's smarter than me. No surprise. That's not a hard feat. My sister and my brother-in-law have raised two incredible humans. They really give me faith in our future. They're articulate, thoughtful… they're beautiful, but overall they're most beautiful because they're curious. I just love them so much; they're the sweetest. They actually have never been a pain in the ass.
GC: I was talking to my Aunt Nancy a few weeks ago, asking her questions because we were planning for the book to come out. I was like, "What were other fun things I would enjoy when I was at your house?” She was like, "You never brushed your teeth at my house." I said, "See, that's what I'm talking about right there." She was like, "Not once. You didn't die. Your teeth didn't fall out. It was fine.
. But I do love this in-between because then it gives you the freedom to just be as bizarre and quirky as you want.
