See all formats and editions

Asher is an ankylosaurus who likes his predictable day and routine. Then one day - uh-oh! - that routine is upended when Mommy goes to work. Suddenly, Asher’s family dynamic changes and he loses his steady footing. Who will pick up Asher from school? Who will read his bedtime stories? And will he ever eat delicious ferns again? Join Asher as he finds support and resilience in uncertain times.

Little dinosaur-lovers will delight in Asher’s prehistoric world, brought to life with vivid and adorable illustrations. Grown-ups will appreciate the practical framework this book provides for handling separation anxiety in their children. Written by a working mom in the trenches of parenting, Asher is an immersive story that gives children a fun and safe place to work out their big feelings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have book for working mothers (and their Ashers)!
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2022

Playfully written and beautifully illustrated, this children’s book tells the story of Asher who becomes anxious when change occurs and Mommy goes back to work. This book is particularly timely as moms are regearing for the workplace after having worked remotely during the pandemic. The parallels between Asher’s day and Mommy’s day are adorable. This book subtly helps mommies transition back to work, as well as helping young children adopt to the inevitable changes that occur when Mommy goes back to work. The star of the book is Granny (aka Granky), and I look forward to the sequel when Granky learns to cook! This book would make a great baby shower gift, and a perfect holiday gift to any young family.

Asher is an adorable little ankylosaurus who gets nervous when his Mommy returns to work after a period of staying at home with her family. This book tells the story of how Asher, his Mommy and the family begins their new routine. Written in familiar, simple steps that are understandable for young children, the story shows how Asher's fears of the change were eased until the new routine became normal. It is colorfully, wonderfully illustrated and I predict that it will become an instant favorite in my grandchildren's library. I plan to give it as a gift to new parents and grandparents alike. Can't wait for more Asher the Dino books to appear!

Lovely story of Asher the dinosaur who shares the same nervousness that kids get when routine changes and parents go to work.

The book walks through Asher’s day and mom going back to work. This cannot be more relatable especially after the pandemic where parents schedules change.

Cute book to share with the kiddos who may be going through the same emotions. Great illustrations, and even caught myself laughing. Buying this for my friends.

This book is definitely one to keep on hand for working parents and their little ones. Especially as more parents are returning to the office, this book will help with those tough transitions families face. I loved how there were parallels between the working mom’s day and Asher’s day. I also found myself chuckling at a few moments in the book that working parents would relate to, which makes the book also enjoyable for parents. Would definitely recommend!

This was such a sweet story dealing with something really scary for our little ones. I look forward to reading this to my kids over and over again when new and uncomfortable situations arise for them. The illustrations were so well done and the side funnies for adults were an added bonus because yes, most meetings should have been an email. Looking forward to many more of Asher's adventures!

Asher is a lovable character. His experience of missing his mom as she goes to work mirrors so much of what my kids experienced. The relatable way his story is presented is great for overcoming this childhood hurdle. I commend this author for writing a book to help moms transition to work and to empower other moms to be the role models we want to be.

This darling book will help your child to adjust to something new. Maybe it's mommy going to work, but you could apply this to any kind of change. I enjoyed the little joke for parents in there too! The simple illustrations bring life to the words and I learned something new.

Cute little book that shows a nice way for children to see that Mommy can go to work too. Makes the transition to school and back to work less scary for a child.
