"The hardest part of going to work is being apart from you.
Let's count the days till we're both at home with a special thing to do."

A loving rhyme from working parents to their children. Illustrations show many families and households during the work week as well as the wonderful weekend, when all the families pictured throughout (including a brown-skinned family, a family with two dads, and a single-parent family) all enjoy Sunday at the park.
