A story that shows how a child and a working mother think about each other and stay connected throughout the day. There is a dual story showing the child's activities at school and the mother's activities at work. While she does different tasks she is reminded of her child like while she reads emails she is reminded of reading stories with her child and while eating lunch with a friend she is reminded of a lunch shared with her child. 

The mother and child are represented as bears. The other characters in the story are represented as a variety of other animals. This is a sweet story that reminds children that even if parents are away from them during the day, they are still thinking about them.
