When Mama goes to work, she wears her working clothes.
She combs her hair,
She packs a lunch,
She takes her special bag.

When Mama goes to work, I wear my playing clothes.
I comb my hair,
I pack a lunch,
I take my special bag.

When Mama Goes to Work follows several children and their working mothers as they move through their day. From morning to night, through the daily activities of work and play, children and parents keep each other in their thoughts even when they are apart.

Both children and parents will relate to the routine of work and play in When Mama Goes to Work. Secure in the knowledge that their mothers will return at the end of the day, confident children enjoy themselves and concentrate on learning and play while looking forward to being reunited with their mothers, when they will discuss their day, help with dinner, and other evening routines.
