This study analyzed Eun-bi‟s mother, a working mom, appeared in “Mom, do you think about me while at work? (Kim Young-Jin, 2014).” At the first scene of the book, Eun-bi mother‟s morning seems so busy. Eun-bi‟s mother does everything for Eun-bi including brushing her teeth, washing her face, putting lotion on her face and wearing clothes in fast hand moves, because she have to go to work after sending Eun-bi to kindergarten. During way to kindergarten after busy preparation, Eun-bi got upset because she could not catch mom‟s fast walk even mom is walking with high heels. When Eun-bi‟s mother arrived at work, she remembered that she did not have a warm good-bye with Eun-bi so she called Eun-bi‟s teacher to ask how she was doing. Eun-bi‟s mother is busy due to hard work and can‟t stay with Eun-bi all the time, but she still loves her daughter as she thinks about Eun-bi by time to time and plans for the weekend to spend with Eun-bi. Maybe Eun-bi‟s mother is the one who is the most stressful between the role of being a mother and social position. Sometimes she will ask herself „what am I working for?‟ and suffer by guilt when she looks at herself as a mother. In this study, children‟s picture book “Mom, do you think about me while at work?” is analyzed to find out the physical and mental difficulties of working moms in Korea where the distribution of responsibility for child care is insufficient and seek the fundamental method to solve the problems. Keywords: Working Mom, Rearing Stress.
