Share a New Zealand book for children or teens for ages 15-18 years
What if you could.
Written by Jacinda Ardern.
Adapted for young adults by Ruby Shamir.
Penguin, 2026.
Based on A different kind of power by Jacinda
Ardern.
From the former prime minister of New Zealand comes a
guide for young readers on chasing your dreams and embracing the unexpected
qualities that truly make a person strong. When Jacinda Ardern became prime
minister of New Zealand, she was one of the youngest people and, at the time,
the youngest woman leading a country. Many people thought she would never
succeed — herself included. Wouldn’t her insecurity, overthinking, worrying,
and kindness stop her from being able to achieve her goals? As she soon
learned, though, it was exactly those attributes — as well as caring and
wanting to listen to and serve others — that made her into the empathetic,
adaptable, and effective leader that she was. While sharing her own experiences
and challenges as a young person, and then as prime minister, Jacinda Ardern
asks readers to realise that true strength, success, and power come from
embracing ourselves just as we are — imposter syndrome and all.
Important messages for us all. Imposter syndrome is a sneaky
beast.
