What an honor it is to welcome back Jenna Bush Hager, this time accompanied by her sister, Barbara Pierce Bush, to Charleston after Jenna’s recent visit to support the Book Drop initiative. America’s beloved sister-duo and former first daughters join us at Grace Church Cathedral to present their most recent publication, I Loved You First, a children’s book honoring the joys of parental love. To celebrate both children and parents, the evening will be split in two: the first portion, a storytime for littles, read by the sisters followed by a discussion with the Bush sisters on their writing process and inspiration for the parents. Each portion of the evening will be ticketed separately, so make sure to grab both (linked below) for a full evening of inspiration and creativity.

About the Book
Celebrate the bond between parent and child in this lyrical story by former first daughters and #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Sisters First Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush. There is nothing more important than the time we spend together, learning to see the world through each other’s eyes. From counting constellations to imagining shapes in fluffy clouds to hiking great canyons or jumping into the ocean, the special moments between a mother or father and their child are some of the most memorable and precious in our lives. Inspired by the majesty of nature all around us, I Loved You First is an expansive and gently whimsical celebration of parental love and a companion to Jenna and Barbara’s New York Times bestselling children’s books Sisters First and Love Comes First.
