“I came to encourage you to …”
First Lady Melania Trump visited a New York City hospital Thursday morning to read to sick children for “Read Across America Day.”
She chose the book, Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss, whose birthday marks the annual reading-awareness day.
Trump said the children’s literary classic is one of her favorite books.
“I came to encourage you to read – and to think about what you want to achieve in life,” the first lady told the children.
A White House official said Trump would read stories to children and then speak with their parents.
