Mother’s Day: George W. Bush and mom Barbara and Family Literacy

By Lynn R. Mitchell

I love this photo of President George W. Bush with his mom, former First Lady Barbara Bush. No one can instill a love for reading like moms. I read to my children throughout their growing-up years, and my mom read to my sisters and me when we were young. Faraway places and historical events came to life on the pages of a book.

This Mother’s Day, consider making a contribution to the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy in honor of your mom and help children learn to read. Now through May 11, President George H.W. Bush “41” and Mrs. Barbara Bush will match your donation at www.givetoread.org. #GiveForMom #BBFFLmatch
