13 years in the making of The Little Kids

Phase 1: Get our book published.


Finally, The Little Kids is published and now we brace for the siblings’ reactions.  


Why is that? Well, because until just recently, they didn’t even know that we were writing a book. When we finally told them- they instantly assumed that somehow we were “throwing them under the bus.” That really is not the case at all. Hence the subtitle: “Lessons Learned from
Our Perspective.” 


Now that it is on sale, they are wondering why they didn’t write a book, or if they have to write a book in response. The hard truth of it all is that this book isn’t about them, it is about what we learned as a result of being the two youngest in a family of 10 kids. No matter how you slice it, if you are the youngest in a large family that spans 16 years of age, then experiences run the gamut. It’s not that they are not a big part of the book, but the focus wasn’t all on them. It was more about what we took away from various snippets of time and what we learned
from them. 


So, here we are. We hope they appreciate the fact that we took their ignorance about this journey of ours into consideration throughout the book. We anxiously await their reactions and feedback. Perhaps they will step up and take a risk and respond to this post, so we can keep the dialogue going. Maybe you have something to say about the subject.
How would you feel if one of your siblings told you that they wrote a book about growing up?
