Lovely book for young children outlining that mummy's can do any kind of job, and some of them have to travel far to do so! The book will give children reassurance that at the end of each day, mummy comes back to them as her favourite job is being a mummy.
Would be fab to read to a child whose parent has just gone back to work after being a stay at home mum or similat

I enjoyed this book and read it with my daughter - I will say thought that I certainly don't look as glam as the mum's in the book!

I work full time but due to the Covid 19 pandemic I am based from home and this was good in that it explains what I am doing to some degree and why, my daughter knows I need to work so we can have nice things and nice holiday and she does accept that but at times she does just want to play with me and doesn't understand things like Teams or Zoom meetings.

It is 4 stars from me for this one, my daughter does understand that I work from home but will be a good reminder too when I do eventually go back to the office - highly recommended

I liked this book for my nieces, they’re both at the age now where they’ve been struggling with their Mother returning back to work after being a stay at home mum,, so being able to read this books to them was really lovely.

The book explains different types of work that mummies do, also that some mummies have to travel for work great distances, but it assures kids that their mummy always loves coming home and that they love and miss them even when they’re away.

My nieces really enjoyed the illustrative work used on the book. The girls were kept engaged the entire time and commented on how pretty the pictures were. For me, the reads was simple enough, and it rhymed so that added another element of fun for the kids.

I would strongly recommend this book to families and parents of young kids.

I was granted complimentary access to Mommies Work by Kristin Cowart Pierce by the IBPA via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Mommies work is a beautifully illustrated storybook about all the different jobs mothers can have, all the different ways they might get there, and how much they think of their kids while they work. It's a precious little story and could be very helpful if a formerly stay at home mom is returning to work and wants to help introduce the idea to their kids.
