My Mommy is a Teacher

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

Your child knows you go to school. She does not know what you actually do there.

She knows other children get you all day, and that you come home with paint on your sleeve and a bag full of books. This book shows her the rest of it, in words she can hold on to.

When she asks her mummy what a teacher does, she is shown: the little coats on the little pegs, story time on the carpet in all the funny voices, the lovely mess of painting, and the morning a girl who had struggled writes her own name and holds it up like a prize. A warm, calm read-aloud about patience, paced for bedtime.
