"Though we're not together, we're never truly apart because you're always on my mind and you're always in my heart. This lovely board book is for all working mothers, and it's the perfect way to reassure a child that they're always in Mom's heart"--Page [4] of cover.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A working mother reassures her child that even when they’re apart, they’re always in each other’s hearts. This lovely board book is perfect for mums to share with their little ones.

Though we’re not together
we’re never truly apart,
because you’re always on my mind
and you’re always in my heart.

This is what a mother tells her child as she leaves for work each day. This lovely board book perfectly captures the sentiment that many women feel about being a working mum. The lyrical text takes us through a mother’s day away, showing us that although she’s working hard, her child is always on her mind and always in her heart.
