A first lady is a role model for the women of her time. For generations, women have faced the demands of this position with courage and strength. The First Ladies series follows each woman's life from childhood to the White House and beyond. Colorful photographs and easy-to-read text guide readers through each first lady's challenges and triumphs. Sidebars and a timeline give historical context to the stories of these incredible women.
This book introduces young readers to the life of Laura Bush, beginning with her childhood in Midland, Texas. Readers will become familiar with her loving personality as they learn about her early career as a teacher and librarian, her marriage to George W. Bush, and her life with twin daughters Jenna and Barbara. Details of Mrs. Bush’s time as First Lady while she supported literacy programs, comforted children after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and participated in the 2004 election, are also discussed. Informative sidebars and full-color photos accompany easy-to-read, engaging text. Includes timeline, fun facts, index, and glossary.
