Storytime: Great Job, Dad! & Great Job, Mom!
Two contemporary felted creations from Holman Wang celebrating Dad’s and Mom’s many jobs from the co-creator of Cozy Classics.
Being a dad or a mom is eleven jobs in one!
These unique picture books for very young readers celebrate the many jobs being a parent encompasses: A receptionist scheduling important meetings (for playdates), an architect designing buildings (or pillow forts), an inspector (of diapers!) . . . When Dad gets home from his day job at the office, he never knows which job will be waiting for him, but he knows it’ll be fun! … 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.
