Well, since we highlighted a book by President Obama in the last post, I figured it’d only be fair to highlight a book by someone in the Bush family.

In President Bush’s best-selling book Decision Points, he talks movingly and proudly about his daughter Barbara and her work with the nonprofit she founded, Global Health Corps, as well as his daughter Jenna and the work she did volunteering for UNICEF in Latin America. Whatever your feeling about President Bush, one thing that’s clear is that he loves his daughters and he loves his country.

During her volunteer work, Jenna met a young woman named Ana, who had been infected with HIV from birth. Her mother died when Ana was three, and she was then shuffled from home to home, enduring horrific abuse and poverty, and all the while hiding her illness from others. The story is an inspiring one of how this young woman overcame the odds, fell in love, had a baby (not infected with the disease), and is today living in hope.

Jenna Bush’s writing style is accessible and inspiring, especially for younger readers who can experience her volunteer work vicariously through her. It (and the other book she wrote with her mom, Read all About It), are impressive coming from someone as young as her, and that both her books donate a portion to charity is equally impressive.

Trudie Styler’s Warrior Yoga is a DVD by Trudie Styler, also known as Mrs. Sting.

Released in October 2009, it has both a 45-minute “Warrior Workout” and a 25-minute “Express Warrior Workout” with a number of positions for whole-body strengthening. The workout was developed by Ms. Styler and Fitness expert James D Silva.

The DVD contains scenery from Sting and Trudie’s villa in Tuscany, with classical music from Sting’s Songs from the Labyrinth album.

Some of the proceeds will go to benefit UNICEF’s Ecuador Water Project, a project helping Ecuadorians secure safe and clean drinking water.

Here is a great idea available from Target and Amazon: the Whatever It Takes Mug collection.It’s a collection of mugs, great for drinking tea or coffee. On each one, a famous celebrity sketched and signed a self-portait of himself, herself, or themselves, along with some other doodles, and the whole thing was made into a very high-quality mug. The mug comes in a gift box, and includes a photograph of the celebrity and a personal message. 50% of proceeds to go a charity or charity of the celebrity’s choice.George Clooney‘s mug is the actor’s sketch of himself. 50% of proceeds go to Anti-Slavery International, CARE International, Oxfam, Save the Children, Trade plus Aid, UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency), UNICEF and WaterAid.ColdPlay, the English rock band, features sketches of band members Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion.50% of proceeds help Trade plus Aid, WaterAid (an organization promoting hygiene and safe drinking water in poor and developing countries) and Oxfam (an organization aimed at fighting poverty and injustice).
