Examines many different jobs performed by working mothers, including counting money in banks and building bridges.

Where do mommies go when they "go to work"? What do they do there? Why can't they stay home all day and play? Mommies Work highlights the world of working mothers. Whether traveling for their job, heading to an office, or working inside the home, moms everywhere can offer little ones a glimpse into their professional lives. Meant to foster conversation with children and illustrate careers of women who work, the book is designed to empower those following their professional passions-while inspiring future generations of working moms to pursue what makes their heart beat outside the home.

Children explore how their mothers have careers but also have the job of taking care of them.

More than 70 percent of women with children under the age of 18 work. And that's why I found it so astounding that when I searched for a book that explained to my toddler what I was doing all day after he was peeled from me, crying, at daycare, I couldn't find a thing.There was plenty out there about separation anxiety or going to school, but so little about what mommy did when she disappeared for the day. I had grown up without a role model for a working mother myself. Raised by a wonderful stay-at-home mom, I worried that I wouldn't know how to reconcile my career ambitions with my love for my family. Like many moms dissatisfied with what is available to them, I decided to make my own, and that's when I created Mommy Goes to Work. My goal is twofold: to facilitate the conversation between mother and child about what we moms are doing all day long in a relatable way, and to help employers signal to their employees that their workplace is family-friendly by giving them a copy of this book.I envision Mommy Goes to Work as a building block in your relationship with your child and with your colleagues and tribes. I hope it provides a conversation starting point where you can share with your little one the important things that you do all day when you're not with them--a foundation to be an incredible working mom role model. And I hope that it allows you to find your tribe of fellow working moms who will welcome you with open arms.
