Evaluation comments:
“I was so excited to receive this book for several reason – we love to read in our family, I am a working mom (about to return to work after my second maternity leave!) and my son is really into books right now, especially before bed as part of his night time routine. The book is beautiful and the perfect length for a toddler, with great illustrations and comparisons that are simple to understand.”
“Really thoughtful content overall.”
“This is such a wonderful story for working moms to read to their young kids – my daughter is only 4 months old, so she is too young to understand my return to work, but my son is almost 2 and talking up a storm and really starting to get it.”
“I also love that it comes with stickers because he is at the age right now where he is obsessed with stickers. He put one of the stickers on his bedroom door and he points at it at night before bed and says “mommy work!”
“I love that this is such a cute story promoting and supporting working moms. There is a lot of guilt being a working mom (I grew up with a stay at home mom, so I found returning to work especially painful).”
“It takes such a positive, fun approach to explaining mommy working. It’s really refreshing to see this. My sister was recently telling me that some of the books we loved as children refer to the mommy as doing cooking and cleaning and she never realized it until she went to read the books to her kids. This is exactly what we need more of!”
“I like this book a lot. I think it is well written, well-illustrated. It is a board book, so great for little hands to learn how to handle a book and turn the pages.”
“I think this would be a really thoughtful gift to send any mom who is about to return to work or any mom who is working in general. It’s a really adorable story and it honestly made me feel less guilt.”
“Returning to work is really hard – I cried when I left my son for the first time. I will be reading this story every night the next 2 weeks as I prepare to wrap up my second leave.”
I love that this book is something that we can read both now and for several years to come as my kids start to understand more and more that their mommy goes to work. And it really does help ease the mom guilt. I love it!”
