Just like you
In this book, a small child is inquisitively asking her mother questions about life. The book begins with the mother and daughter in the car on the way to school. They then visit different job occupations throughout the day. The mom is so busy thinking about giving the best answers, that she forgets the most important job is being a mom. The importance of this book is to show all little girls that they can work in male dominated jobs. The book also plants the seed to strive to be the person in charge.
