My Mommy is a Bookkeeper

Sold on Amazon as My Mommy is a Bookkeeper (US spelling)

Some jobs have a uniform. Yours has a spreadsheet.

There is no engine to point at and nothing to visit, which makes "what does mummy do?" surprisingly hard to answer.

When she asks her mummy what a bookkeeper does, she is shown with buttons and a jar — count them, write it down, check it twice. Then the day one number would not come right, and the quiet satisfaction of finding the one that had slipped. A warm, calm read-aloud about care and carefulness, paced for bedtime.

Inside this book
  • Counting buttons into neat little piles with Teddy
  • Why grown-ups check things twice, and why that is not boring
  • Lea sets up her own tidy desk and counts everything in the house
  • Twelve full-page illustrations, created with AI assistance
  • Two colouring pages and four activity pages at the back
  • Book 4 in the My Mummy, My Daddy series about the jobs parents do
A thoughtful gift for an accountant or bookkeeper in the family, and a quiet way to make early counting feel like something grown-ups do too.
