By Jacinda Ardern When a little girl wakes up for another daycare day, she wishes she could stay home with Mum instead. But as the week unfolds, she realises that even though Mum’s work keeps her busy, there’s always time for stories, dancing, hugs, and love. Written by former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and beautifully illustrated by Ruby Jones, Mum’s Busy Work is a gentle, affirming story that captures the heart of the working parent–child relationship. It reminds tamariki that love isn’t measured by time together, but by the warmth that connects us - no matter where we are. How this product supports tamariki: This story helps children understand that parents can love them deeply even when they’re away at work. Reading it together opens up gentle kōrero about routines, separation, and connection, helping tamariki feel secure and loved through the busyness of everyday life. Show more
