Children's Books Books in Order

Jenna Bush Hager's children's books are not one long, continuing story. They are a friendly mix of picture books and a true story for older readers, linked by curiosity, family, books, and the idea that paying attention to other people can change how you see the world.

Some of these books were written with her mother, Laura Bush, a former teacher and librarian. In Read All About It!, Tyrone is good at nearly everything at school except sitting still for story time. When unusual visitors begin appearing during class read-alouds, he and his friends are pulled into an adventure that gives him a new reason to care about books. It is a playful classroom story for children who might need a nudge toward reading.

Our Great Big Backyard trades the classroom for a family road trip. Jane would rather spend her summer with screens and friends than travel with her parents and little brother. But visits to national parks, from wetlands and deserts to canyons and mountains, slowly pull her into the fun. The setting matters because the parks become a place for the family to look up, get messy, and make memories together.

Then there is Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope, Hager's first book and the most serious entry here. Inspired by her work with UNICEF in Latin America, it follows Ana, a young mother living with HIV. The book deals plainly with illness, poverty, stigma, and the importance of education and support. It is best suited to older children and teens, and it asks readers to look beyond their own daily lives.

The later picture books written with Barbara Pierce Bush broaden the shelf even more. Sisters First, The Superpower Sisterhood, Love Comes First, and I Loved You First focus on sibling bonds, growing families, friendship, and parent-child love. Their characters live in recognizable homes and neighborhoods, but imagination is always close by.

These are books built for conversation.

The tone changes from title to title. Read All About It! is silly and energetic. Our Great Big Backyard is outdoorsy and gently comic. Ana's Story is more direct and thoughtful. The sister-themed books are warm, reassuring, and designed for sharing aloud.

There is no required reading order. Younger readers can begin with the picture book that matches their interests, whether that is books, parks, new siblings, or a little make-believe. Readers ready for a more challenging, real-world story can turn to Ana's Story. Across the collection, the common thread is a belief that stories can make a child feel less alone and a little more curious about the people around them.
