In My Heart
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 moms 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 mom. 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.
