Being a mum 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 archaeologist looking for buried treasures (or socks). when Mum 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.
