Jenna Bush Hager Lets Her Daughter Read 'The Summer I Turned Pretty'

Jenna Bush Hager has author Jenny Han to thank when it comes to navigating mature topics with her 10-year-old daughter, Mila.

In response to feedback that Mila is too young to read the teen book series, Bush Hager stated, “I would so much rather my kids learn about sex or drinking or whatever it is through books than through YouTube. I would so much rather my kids read something and get to come to their mom’s bedside and say, ‘Hey, mom. I didn’t quite get this,’ and me be able to help lead the conversation than her having influencers do that for her.

“For everybody who’s worried about books and banning books and all that stuff, your children are getting a million times more stuff that you might deem as inappropriate ,” said Kotb, who coparents Haley, 7, and Hope, 4, with ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman. “And the fact that a child is actually reading, like, wants to read something .”

The Summer I Turned Pretty book series follows teenage protagonist Isabel “Belly” Conklin as she comes of age and navigates a love triangle with family friends Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. The trio of novels was adapted into a Prime Video series starring Lola Tung, Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno as Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah, respectively.
