LilSugar has shared 5 books for children of working moms. Each book offers great ways for little ones to understand that mommy loves them, even when she has to leave to go to work. Kids can also get a better understanding of where mommy goes, what ‘work’ is, and why mommies work. Each book has been written by a fellow work at home mom, who knows how difficult it can be to explain to a child why they have to go to work.
In How to Get a Job by Me, the Boss is a very cute book that takes a look at different careers through the job search process. The Boss interviews candidates for such jobs as Boot Explorer and Dinosaur Artist by demonstrating their proficiency in using scissors and dressing themselves.
In In Iron Chef Cat Cora’s A Suitcase Surprise For Mommy, lil Zoran tries to think of the perfect item to put in Mom’s suitcase so she’ll think of him while she’s gone. This book addresses little ones fears that mommy might forget about them when she has to travel for work.
In Mommy’s High Heel Shoes, little Cakes’ plays around in her mom’s closet while she is at work one day, and by doing so comes to understand all the different jobs her mommy has inside and outside of their house.
A look at a mom’s business trip through her lil girl’s eyes, My Mommy’s on a Business Trip shows kids that the mommy/child bond can’t be broken by a few nights away from home.
Working mom Nikki Mark tried to explain her reasons for working to her sons, and in doing so, realized that other kids may have the same questions. The conversations she had with her little boys inspired her to write a book, Mommy Brings Home the Bacon, which explains to children that even though mom is gone throughout the day, she still loves them and can’t wait to see them at home.
Fun and easy to read with your kids, these books are really helpful for working moms, and make a nice ‘mommy and me time’ story to share! You can find these books on Amazon.com.
