MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCBD) – Today Show anchor Jenna Bush Hager is not only a lover of reading books, but she also has a passion for writing them. She has teamed up with her twin sister, Barbara Pierce, to co-write children’s books. Their latest, “I Loved You First,” will be released nex t Tuesday; however, Jenna Bush Hager joined News 2 to discuss the new book before it is released and to highlight her upcoming trip to Charleston with her sister. Jenna and Barbara will host a story time at 5:30 p.m. on March 27 in Hanahan Hall at Grace Church Cathedral. Following the story time, ‘An Evening with Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush’ will feature the sisters discussing their love of reading and the writing process in the main cathedral. The special events are in partnership with Buxton Books and the Charleston Library Society.  The book is a tribute to the bond between a parent and child. Hager talked about how the two balanced their voices when co-writing the book. “You know, this is not our first project together. We've kind of done this a few times, so we have a mode of working together. I mean, one of the things we do is when we're on book tour, we're like, you know, somebody will come up and be like, Oh, I loved your book on sisterhood, but what about a book about, you know, that I could give to somebody becoming a new mom and that it always gives us ideas. So we usually write our current book on our last book tour. And so, we wrote this, we brainstormed it. It's really a tribute to what it feels like to be a parent and to see the world through our kids’ eyes.” She said the book is a tribute to their parents and their children. “I think it made perfect sense because I have three kids. Barbara just became a mom to her second baby. And so, it's really what's on our mind right now, which is just how grateful we are that we have these babies in our life.” Hager was in Charleston last fall helping to promote the Book Drop, which is an innovative community library program. She’ll be back this spring to raise awareness for the Book Drop while also sharing the story behind their latest book. “I'm obsessed with Charleston,” she said. “It's one of the greatest American cities. I have a lot of friends there, which is really fun. But of course, and this feels cliche, but it's only cliche because it's true, my favorite thing to do in Charleston is to eat.” She’s looking forward to visiting the city with her sister for the first time together. “I was like, okay, Barbara, I have everywhere we're going to go eat. I have the biscuits picked out. I know the oysters. We're going to also eat. So, it's really fun. I mean, the book tour is so fun to get to travel around our country for a brief period but with my sister.” To find details on ticket information for her Charleston stop, click here. ...read more read less
