Mrs. and Ms. Bush Write Children's book.


(Author and Bush twin Jenna shows her rawker/edgy side)

This is one of the more interesting book stories I have read lately. As you all follow the story of the Bush twins, I don't need to tell you that Jenna Bush is already a published author of a book called Ana's Hope, about her time with UNICEF. This I gathered from the cover.
Now she's teaming up with her mother to write a picture book (?) about kids that don't like reading. Just what kids not interested in reading books need: a book of pictures about how reading sucks. "It’s a book that I’ve always wanted to write," says Laura Bush. She also said it was going to be difficult writing a book of pictures, because "In a picture book, there are so few words." Got that?

sigh.

below is a link i found to an article written by Ralph Nader on the Bush twins. at the end he encourages everyone to write letters of petition to get the girls sent off to Iraq to fight, you know because Bush seems so comfortable sending other peoples kids over...oh Nader...good luck.

As a future librarian I'm so glad to have Laura Bush in my corner.

Maybe Paris Hilton will write something for kiddies next - we can only dream!
