Synopsis
Finally, a children's picture book that pays homage to working moms everywhere!
My Mom Has Two Jobs celebrates the work that women do both inside and outside of the home. On each page, children proudly describe how their moms care for them in a special way, while also making the world better through their careers. The book highlights moms in a wide range of professions, including a teacher, engineer, police officer, doctor, secretary, dentist, firefighter, nurse, lawyer, waitress, military sergeant, veterinarian, and pilot.

The book is beautifully illustrated to embrace diverse moms of different races and ethnicities and to show the wide range of important roles that women play.

"Michelle Travis has written a delightful picture book story to help young readers appreciate all the things their moms can do. My Mom HasTwo Jobs explores many of the possible occupations for a mom outside of the home and, for each outside job, the author compares it to the similar loving care moms provide to their children at home. For example, the mom whois a police officer: 'When I take my friend's favorite stuffed bear, she teaches me to be honest and to care.' Loving lessons to make youngpeople grow up to be loving, caring, honest adults.
Not onlydoes the author present the many jobs a mom can do, but she also pointsout to young readers, particularly girls, that they can be and doanything they want as a grownup. And still be a good mom. There are many important lessons to learn in this colorfully illustrated picturebook.... The comparisons will encourage young readers to make their ownconnections with their moms and what they do in the workplace and athome. An excellent and enjoyable educational book." -Readers' Favorite
