Working Mother's Represented in Books

 
It’s coming around to that time to celebrate mothers and motherly figures.

Mothers hold us all together. They are the center of what holds us together. Grandmothers, mothers, sisters, aunts, and other motherly figures are important to us. But one type of motherly figure is often unappreciated-the working mother. Working mothers play both roles, the mom and the hard office worker. They have to do double the work and get the job done. These books represent those supermoms.
