My Mommy Doesn’t Work
“My Mommy doesn’t work. She flies airplanes. Daddy works.”

That innocent comment from Rochelle’s young nephew inspired this heartwarming and thoughtful picture book that gently explores how children understand (and often misunderstand) what it means to “work.”

In My Mommy Doesn’t Work, young kids proudly describe what their moms do every day—from flying planes and fixing hair to catching bad guys and writing books—while still insisting she doesn’t “work.” Through their eyes, work looks different than grown-ups expect, reminding us that kids often don’t see the jobs behind the scenes.

This colorful and engaging book is:

• A celebration of working moms in every profession
• A funny and touching look at how children describe the world around them
• A great way to spark conversations with kids about work, family, and appreciation

Great for ages 2–8, this book invites readers to rethink what “work” really looks like—and to celebrate the many ways moms show up every day.
