Publisher Description
A contemporary felted creation celebrating Mom's many jobs from the co-creator of Cozy Classics.
Being a mom is eleven jobs in one!
This unique picture book for very young readers celebrates the many jobs being a parent encompasses: A general who rallies the troops (or unruly kids), a curator of modern art (or finger paintings), an archeologist looking for buried treasures (or socks) . . . when Mom gets home from her day job as a carpenter, she never knows which job will be waiting for her, but she knows it'll be fun!
Each rhyming spread features intimate, familiar, comforting and humorous depictions of family life through a wholly original -- and amazing! -- needle-felted lens.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Wang, cocreator of the Cozy Classics series, fashions scenes from the life of a mother and her two children, the needle-felted figures staged and photographed in scale model sets. A child narrator praises his mother's many roles. As a professional carpenter, the sandy-haired mother "builds things big and strong." But at home, she's a data-collecting scientist (she marks the boy's changing height on the wall). She's also sometimes "a zookeeper who handles beastly crews," including the family's rambunctious pets and the mess-making siblings. Wang captures a remarkable sense of motion, expression, and realism in his scenes. This little family feels so authentic, readers may forget that its is made from wool. Also available: Great Job, Dad! Ages 3 7.
