Her father was a home builder and later successful real estate developer while her mother worked as the bookkeeper for her fathers business. Early on, her parents encouraged her to read, leading to what would become her love of reading. She said, I learned at home from my mother. When I was a little girl, my mother would read stories to me. I have loved books and going to the library ever since. In the summer, I liked to spend afternoons reading in the library. I enjoyed the Little House on the Prairie books and Little Women, and many others... Reading gives you enjoyment throughout your life. Bush has also credited her second grade teacher, Charlene Gnagy, for inspiring her interest in education.
