Million Moms and Mine

"Mommy, could you...um...take a few years off work?" The question is a familiar one to moms who work outside the home. It is also one of the aspects of having a working mom that 20 children examine in this rhyming tale. The children's words & heartfelt drawings do not dismiss real concerns, such as needing more time with parents, but also reflect pride in their moms. Published as part of Liz Claiborne's Women's Work, a series of community-based art projects designed to raise awareness & encourage positive social change on issues important to women.
