Mommies at Work can spark meaningful discussions about family roles, responsibilities, and the value of work. For literacy, students can analyze the poetic text and practice identifying themes, rhymes, and descriptive language. It‘s a great way to connect lessons to real-life experiences.
pickMommies at Work by Eve Merriam, illustrated by Beni Montresor, is a charming and thoughtful exploration of the many roles mothers play in their families and communities. The rhythmic, poetic text celebrates the hard work and dedication of mothers, both in the home and beyond, offering young readers an appreciation for the often-overlooked labor of women. This timeless book is a lovely addition to any classroom or home library.
Mommies at Work by Eve Merriam is a great book for a classroom discussion on careers, family roles, and diversity! I would love to hear students thoughts and shares on this book.
pickMommies at Work by Eve Merriam is a nonfiction children's book that explores the many different jobs that mothers can have. Through simple, rhyming text and illustrations, the book shows a variety of moms working in different roles such as doctors, teachers, and artists while also caring for their families. It inspires children to appreciate the hard work and dedication of their mothers.
pickGoing to call it a low Pick. Still depressingly relevant even 20+ years after publication. I do remain cynical that organizations would ever fully deal with burnout in the ways presented in the case studies, but it‘s nice to imagine.
pickHaving read this so shortly after Our Kids: The America Dream in Crisis was a #Powerful combination. If you aren't screwed by the opportunity gap in childhood, you're pretty likely to be screwed by the bottom-line mentality of the corporate world.
