Jenna Bush Hager and her twin sister Barbara Pierce Bush are collaborating once again on an exciting new project.
The Today show host has written a number of children's books with her sister over the years, with their last one debuting in November 2023. Well, Jenna and Barbara got together again to add another new title to their book collection — and it's coming out sooner than you think.
Jenna shared her new book is called I Loved You First and will come out on March 25, 2025. What's more, folks can already pre-order Jenna's latest project online. And when she further shared the news on Instagram on December 12, she gave a heartfelt explanation for the inspiration behind the work.
"Our new children’s book, I Loved You First, is available for preorder now!" she wrote. "My sissy, Barbara, and I wrote this together after she had her new babe, Edward Finn. It’s a story about the precious time we spend together and a celebration of parental love. Preorder at the link in my bio!"
When fans saw that Jenna was adding another title to her literary résumé, they were so excited for her.
"You wrote it with your twin sister! That’s so cool! 😍🙌❤️ Three cheers for Twins everywhere!" one person wrote. "Sounds like a good book about the love between parents and their little ones. Sounds like a beautiful book to buy and knowing Jenna, it will be a best seller and worth buying," another penned. "Buying this for my son immediately 💜," a different viewer added.
So, what will I Loved You First be about? According to the book's description on Amazon, the story will "celebrate the bond between parent and child" with moments that are "some of the most memorable and precious in [their] lives."
Speaking on Today about her new project with Barbara on December 9, Jenna shared why I Loved You First holds a special place in her heart.
"It's a story inspired by nature and it kind of reminds me of a Mary Oliver poem," she explained. "It's all about what it feels like to know our child from the very first moment. I wrote it with my sister after she had just had her little babe, Edward Finn ... So it kind of is an ode to what it feels like to be a mom."
Congrats, Jenna and Barbara!
