Few mothers of small children are simultaneously prime ministers.
To get a sense of how the double job works in practice, someone who knows has written a children's book about their experience.
Jacinda Ardern became a mother in 2018, a year after she took office as New Zealand's prime minister, a post she held until 2023.
The balancing act between diaper changes and meetings with world leaders is now described in the book "Mum’s busy work", which will be released in September, she writes on
The book depicts the hectic life of small children through a child's perspective, and is based on what Ardern's daughter said to her prime minister mother.
Those who want a more traditional description of life as a prime minister can already this summer read Ardern's autobiography "A different kind of power".
