Jacinda Ardern Instagram – It’s been a long time in the making, but in one week’s time Mum’s Busy Work will be out! Even though it will come out simultaneously in New Zealand/Australia, the UK and USA, there are three different covers (and two different spellings of mum, as featured in the pics!)
While I am of course very attached to the text, which is based on the things my daughter used to say to me as a working mum, I love the illustrations. The incredibly talented Ruby Jones has brought to life this simple story about a child figuring out what their mum does.
You can preorder now (link in my bio) and for every book sold in New Zealand, I’ll be making a $3 donation to the Kindness Collective.
I hope you find as much joy in this book as I found creating it with @penguinkids @penguinbooksnz @penguinbooksaus @macmillankidsuk | Posted on 16/Sep/2025 21:53:43
