This intimate picture book debut captures the joys--and occasional
struggles--of being a stay-at-home parent.
Rollicking rhyme and playful illustrations record a day in the life of
two rambunctious children and their stay-at-home mother. As fun as it is
being a kid, it can be hard work being a mom. When Dad heads to his
job, the joyful chaos of getting ready for the day begins. To the
children, that day is a happy blur of school and playdates, singing and
dancing, supermarket walks and library stops, bath time, story time,
bedtime. But Mommy's time is filled with a whole lot *more--*sweeping,
laundry, stinky diapers--tiring work achieved with love in her eyes and
care in her smiles. An authentic catalog of precious moments in the life
of an ordinary family, this warm, revealing story builds a bridge of
empathy between parent and child and celebrates the value of "Mommy
time."
