Mum's Busy Work

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

An inspiring and heartwarming book about the relationship between a working mum and her daughter by the former prime minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern.
Today I got out of bed and asked Mum
what day it was. 'Monday,' she said.
I asked if that was a day care day.
She said yes. I stomped my feet.

Even though day care 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 Jacinda Ardern had with her young daughter while she was prime minster of New Zealand, this book celebrates the relationship between working mums and their children. With striking art by Ruby Jones, Mum’s Busy Work shows how, even when a parent and their child are apart during the day, the love between them is unquestionable.

First time using book hero last week and though I was sceptical , the two business books I needed were only available on book hero so I gave it a try. Before I got home the following day the books were already at my home !! That's super efficient ! I'm proud to be supporting a local business that outperforms the big players ! Well done bookhero !
