Jenna Bush Hager's Inspiration

During the Monday, Dec. 9 segment of "The Today Show," Jenna Bush Hager opened up about the inspiration behind "I Loved You First." She shared that the book was inspired by nature and reminded her of a Mary Oliver poem. It's a story that delves into the profound feeling of knowing one's child from the very first moment. After her sister Barbara Pierce Bush had her little babe, Edward Finn, Jenna felt compelled to write this ode to motherhood.

This book isn't just a tale; it's a celebration of the unique connection between a mother and her child. The illustrations by Ramona Kaulitzski bring the story to life, adding another layer of charm to the already special book.

The Bush Twins' Book Collection

The Bush twins have a rich history of writing picture books together. Their first book, "Sisters First," was published in 2019, followed by its sequel "Love Comes First" in 2023. In 2022, "The Superpower Sisterhood" was released. All three of these books embrace the idea of sisterhood and family, but their newest publication takes a different turn.

Set to be released in March 2025, "I Loved You First" stands out as a testament to the twins' evolving creative journey. It showcases their ability to touch on different aspects of life through their writing.

Memories of Growing Up in the Public Eye

The Bush twins have led extraordinary lives. They were just 6 years old when their grandfather, George H. W. Bush, was elected the 41st President of the United States, and 18 when their father, George W. Bush, held the same position. Their memoir, "Sisters First: Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life," published in 2018, gave readers a glimpse into their upbringing in the public eye.

Despite their busy lives in New York City, the sisters always make time for a sisters' trip - their book tour. In November 2023, they told "The New York Times" about these special moments. And on "TODAY," Jenna Bush Hager confirmed that they wouldn't be breaking tradition with their upcoming book tour.
