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.
One of CCBC's Best Books for Kids & Teens 2019

PRAISE FOR Great Job, Mom!:

“[A] top-notch choice for both libraries and families. Highly recommended for library and personal purchase.” --Highly Recommended, Resource Links

"This little family feels so authentic, readers may forget that it's is made from wool." --Publishers Weekly

"The artwork in this tongue-in-cheek look at the many roles moms play in family life is certain to have readers poring over the pages." --Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews

“These beautiful books provide the chance to appreciate and talk about careers, caring and family." --Calgary Herald

“Each photo is a masterpiece in and of itself. . . . Highly recommended for their masterful art and messages of appreciation and gratitude.” --School Library Journal
