'Working mum guilt' explored in Jacinda Ardern's new children's book

Jacinda Ardern's new children's book draws on the tension between work and parenting that she has spoken about since leaving office.

The former prime minister has described the guilt many working parents feel, and the book frames that experience in language aimed at young readers.

Publishers said the story is designed to be read together by parents and children rather than delivering a lesson from above.

It follows her memoir and continues a shift into writing and advocacy after politics.
