ABOUT HELP MOM WORK FROM HOME:
For fans of Boss Baby and How to Babysit a Grandma comes an entertaining read aloud for parents working from home with their little ones.
It isn't always easy working from home. Luckily, Mom's little one is a natural boss at keeping her organized, leading meetings, and making calls—or so it seems. But when Mom starts looking frazzled, will her helper know what to do?
Diana Murray's rollicking rhyme paired with Cori Doerrfeld's energetic illustrations will bring parent and child together after a long workday at home.
THEMES:
Role Play: Kids love to copy adults, especially their parents. This book offers an opportunity for role play, which fires up imagination and helps to develop critical skills such as communication, cooperation, and socialization.
Helping Others: Helping gives kids a sense of responsibility and builds self-esteem and empathy. They might make lots of mistakes (and messes!) along the way, but with practice and patience, being truly “helpful” is a skill they can learn.
Creativity: When helping out in a home office, there is a big opportunity for crafts and activities that are fun for kids, and useful for parents who want kids to stay busy.
