Children books are one of the most interesting literatures to read. Well, the news is that Laura Bush and daughter Jenna Bush are teaming up to write a children’s book. It is based on their experiences as teachers. HarperCollins the publishers of the book have decided that the book will make to the shelves in the market next spring. The book will also contain illustrations by Denise Brunkus, well known for her popular Junie B.Jones series. The book hasn’t been titled yet.
The story revolves in a school around a boy who is not interested in studying. The boy who is a second grader tries to convince people that he like doing things. Jenna Bush, who has taught at a public school in Washington D.C., has already tried her hand at writing. Her book, Ana’s Story, based on her experiences during UNICEF intern program in Central America is due to be out next month. However, Laura Bush is writing a book for the first time but she too has been a teacher and school librarian in Texas. Also, net proceeds from both the books will be donated to ‘Teach for America’ and ‘The New Teacher Project’, two national teacher programs.
Regarding the book Laura said,
It’s a book that I’ve always wanted to write. And it’s fun to be able to do it with your daughter. It’s loosely based on students we both had in our classrooms. I know how difficult it can be. In a picture book, there are so few words, so each word has to be perfect. Jenna and I know that, and we know that each page should have something to make you want to turn the page. That’s the challenge.
Well, I guess first we should lay our hands on Jemma’s book and then we can know how the next book is going to be.
