Dr Rajini Haraksingh is an accomplished Trinidadian scientist and Lecturer in Biotechnology at the University of the West Indies. She has spent the last decade building capacity for the development and upliftment of Caribbean people through education. She wrote this book to ignite curiosity in children about the value of work and to help them wrap their little heads around why parents engage in this befuddling act. She secretly hopes it also prompts parents to examine their own relationships to work, brings new clarity, and even encourages courageous career breaks, pivots, or further engagement that may become necessary with parenthood.
