When Jake Gyllenhaal first became an uncle, he was admittedly “overeager.”

“That was the first experience I’d ever had with being given the uncle title, and so I took it very seriously,” he told Parade.

That was almost 17 years ago, when his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, gave birth to her oldest daughter, Ramona (her youngest, Gloria, is 11). Now, the Nightcrawler actor is paying tribute to his “sacred” role with a new children’s book, The Secret Society of Aunts and Uncles, which he co-wrote with his longtime friend Greta Caruso (daughter of actor David Caruso).

The charming story follows 10-year-old Leo as he watches his ordinarily boring Uncle Mo get a crash course in “Uncleology.” (Lesson No. 1: Bedtime is not 8 o’clock. Lesson No. 2: Broccoli comes after ice cream.)
