Like a lot of kids, Giovanna "Gigi" McBride was always excited when she got to visit her mom at work. But unlike a lot of kids, when Gigi went to see her mom, she went to one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world - the White House!
Her mother, Anita McBride, had a very unique job—she worked at the White House as Chief of Staff to First Lady Laura Bush.
Now, Gigi is sharing her memories of the time she spent visiting the White House in a new children’s book, "Gigi at the White House"!
You and your students are invited to join the Gerald R. Ford Foundation for a free, virtual author visit with Gigi as she reads her book, shares her experiences as a child at the White House (and what it was like to write a book about it!), and answers questions from the audience.
