First lady Laura Bush and daughter Jenna are on the campaign trail, but it’s not politics that they’re promoting.
It’s Jenna’s second book, Laura’s first, called Read All About It! They’ve both taught children, and the goal of this book is to encourage boys to read. The book’s primary character, Tyrone, is a composite of boys they’ve taught over the years, boys who have a hard time sitting still long enough to enjoy reading.
“Tyrone is like so many boys,” Laura Bush said on the Today show. “He loves everything real. He rules the school. He just doesn’t like books, because he doesn’t think they’re real.”
The two are criss-crossing the electronic globe to promote the book. Read All About It!, ISBN 9780061560750, is on sale this week.
