Though they're apart, this mother never stops thinking about her child.

A mother bear tells her child about her workday. She describes one activity after another, following each description with "And I think about you." As we see her at her tasks, we see the corresponding activity she imagines with her child. Then, turn the page, and we see the child in a parallel activity at school. From reading emails to sharing projects with coworkers, the mother is reminded of her child. And their days remain intertwined, connected by their love.

The repeated refrain — "And I think about you" — is one no child ever tires of hearing.

      Even on the busiest of days, parents find time to think about their children. An anthropomorphic bear readies their cub for school--making sure the little one eats breakfast and gets dressed and giving the cub a big hug before leaving for work. A page turn offers a glimpse into each bear's day, complete with onomatopoeic descriptions. The parent looks over their to-do list, sends emails ("Click-i-ty, Clack-a-ty"), and gives a presentation; the cub reads to stuffed friends, paints pictures ("DAB! SWIPE!"), and shares at circle time. The busy days are depicted in split panels that alternate between classic pastel colors and, when the parent stops to think about the cub at various points, soft hues of mint green, warm rose, shadowy purple, aquamarine, or light amber. Moments of humor in which the parent discovers a missing button ("Whoops!") and makes a mess at lunch ("Chit-chat. Splat!") demonstrate that grown-ups can make mistakes, too, and keep the story from being too precious. Furthermore, this side-by-side storytelling places equal emphasis on each bear's day, validating the cub's play as their work. Young readers anticipating the start of school will benefit from both the introduction to daily events and the reminder that they are in their parents' thoughts all day long. (This book was reviewed digitally.) Warm and reassuring, sure to be especially appreciated by families with working parents and apprehensive children. (Picture book. 3-6)
