JACKSON, Miss.- Governor Phil Bryant, First Lady Deborah Bryant, Sweet Potato Queen Jill Conner Browne and Liza McFadden, President and CEO of The Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy unveiled the new “Love.Read.Learn!™” Baby Journal for parents of newborns in Mississippi Thursday. 

First Lady Bryant’s colorful Baby Journal was created in partnership with the nonprofit Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy.
