Jenna Bush Hager will be in conversation with Heidi Daniel, Pratt Library President & CEO, about her book and work.

Jenna Bush Hager is the co-host of TODAY with Hoda and Jenna, alongside Hoda Kotb. She is also an editor-at-large for Southern Living magazine. Currently Hager is the chair of UNICEF’s Next Generation, an initiative dedicated to reducing the number of preventable childhood deaths around the world. She has traveled throughout Latin America and the Caribbean with UNICEF where she saw firsthand the plight faced by the underprivileged.

Hager is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Sisters First, written with her sister Barbara Pierce Bush. This book takes readers on an extraordinary and deeply personal journey of what it is like to be born into a political dynasty. The sisters reveal never-before-told stories about their family and uncover the enduring sisterly bond that kept them sane through it all.

She also penned another New York Times bestseller Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope, which she wrote after interning with UNICEF in Latin America. The story is based on the life of a 17-year-old single mother living with HIV determined to shield her child from the abuse and neglect that riddled her own childhood.

Like her mother, Laura Bush, Hager once taught public school. Together, they co-authored the children’s books Our Great Big Backyard and Read All About It!.

ASL interpretation will be available to attendees.
