Today I got out of bed and asked Mum what day it was. “Monday” she said. I asked if that was a nursery day. She said yes. I stomped my feet.

Even though nursery is fun, it’s still hard not to miss Mum throughout the week! But despite her busy job, there’s always time for stories, time for games; time for hugs and time for love.

Based on real conversations Dame Jacinda Ardern had with her young daughter while she was prime minister of New Zealand, this book celebrates the relationship between working mums and their children. Mum’s Busy Work shows how, even when apart during the day, the love between a parent and their child is unquestionable.
