JUVENILE FICTION / Family / Parents
A contemporary felted creation celebrating Dad’s many jobs from the co-creator of Cozy Classics.

Being a dad is eleven jobs in one! 



This unique picture book for very young readers celebrates the many jobs being a parent encompasses: A receptionist scheduling important meetings (for playdates), an architect designing buildings (or pillow forts), an inspector (of diapers!)…When Dad gets home from his day job at the office, he never knows which job will be waiting for him, but he knows it’ll be fun!     



Each rhyming spread features intimate, familiar, comforting and humorous depictions of family life through a wholly original — and amazing! — needle-felted lens.

PART OF A SERIES CELEBRATING FAMILY: The TR edition of Great Job, Mom! is being released simultaneously. Perfect for Father’s Day and Mother’s Day!

PREVIOUS SUCCESS: These books follow on the success of the popular Cozy Classics series, which sold over 15,000 copies across the series, and the Star Wars Epic Yarns series, which sold over 36,000.

ORIGINAL ART STYLE: Needle-felted characters and incredible details and backgrounds.

DIVERSE JOBS: Non-gender-conforming jobs.

DIVERSE CHARACTERS: One parent is white, one is Asian.

DIVERSE FAMILIES: Both books show a single parent.

CURRICULUM CONNECTIONS: Occupations/jobs are part of early education curricula.

PERSONAL CONNECTION: Holman has used his family as inspiration for the series and Dad is modelled after him.

HOLMAN WANG is a lawyer who also finds time to make children’s books. He and his brother, Jack, are the twin powers behind the board book series Cozy Classics and Star Wars Epic Yarns, which abridge literary and cinematic classics into just twelve words and twelve needle-felted images. Their unique artwork has been exhibited around the world, including at The Original Art exhibition in New York, the Bologna Children’s Book Fair and the National Museum of Play. Holman lives with his wife and kids in Vancouver, Canada, and is a board member of the Vancouver Writers Festival.
