Jenna Bush is apparently writing a book for children:
“The president's daughter, 25, says the book …is aimed at ‘getting kidsthinking and involved’…’there's so much they can do’ to deal withissues of ‘exclusion’ — from research on HIV discriminationto ‘inviting new kids to sit with them in the cafeteria.’"
I'm a little skeptical about this, but she says she's going to donate the proceeds to UNICEF so I do have to give her some credit for that. You can read more here.

Why is it that famous people think they can write children's books? Madonna, Jamie Lee Curtis, Julie Andrews, . . . and now Jenna Bush. Well, maybe she will amaze us all and write a good one.
Yeah, it's frustrating because the assumption seems to be that writing a children's book is easy. On the Madonna books: my brother was asked to illustrate one of them and he turned the job down. Good brother.
Funny, it seems we accept children's books and memoirs from anyone as long as they are famous. I can see the reasoning for the memoir but the children's book??? It's that old assumption about visual genres--it's just a bunch of pictures with a few words.
