MiNDFOOD Book Club: Jacinda Ardern shares her must-read books
In our latest issue of MiNDFOOD, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern gave us a peek at her bookshelf - including the children's classic she's been reading to baby Neve.

Looking for some reading suggestions this spring? From a children’s classic, to a harrowing historical epic – see the books Jacinda Ardern just can’t put down.

Endurance by Alfred Lansing

“This is my absolute favourite book. I can’t get past the fact that it is both an incredible tale of human resilience and courage, and it is true.”

 

Mortal Fire by Elizabeth Knox

“I love books that suspend reality, but that also remind you how incredible the human imagination can be. A story you’ll barely be able to describe after the fact, but that will have you enthralled.”

 

The Invisible Crowd by Ellen Wiles

“I read this last summer, and I still think about it. It tells the tale of a refugee trying to survive in England – and the impact others have on their journey. A book that makes you see the world differently.”

 

The Bone People by Keri Hulme

“When I moved to New York, this book came with me. It reminded me of home. It would have travelled the world with me if it wasn’t stolen by my roommate.”

 

Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy, by Lynley Dodd

“Let’s be honest, these are the kind of books I get through these days. Lucky for all parents, we have some amazing children’s books in this country!”
