The perfect board book for any parent working from home. Working from home with a young child around can be tricky: toddlers love to burst in on a video call, and Mummy would love to play, but has to finish his work first. On the upside, there can be a kiss between calls, and a sticky cuddle at lunchtime. When Mummy Works From Home explores and celebrates some of these moments in a nurturing, heartwarming manner. Following the success of When Mummy Goes to Work and When Daddy Goes to Work, this is the ideal gift book for anyone returning to work after parental leave, or adjusting to the new normal of home-working. Also available: When Daddy Works From Home.
