Bringing cheer to an NYC children’s hospital for the 1st time, Melania Trump made the cutest appearance as she read Dr. Seuss to sick kids while encouraging them to read. And appearing in good spirits, the FLOTUS totally seemed to light up the room as she broke open ‘Oh, The Places You’ll Go!’ How sweet is that?
Melania Trump, 46, totally got into the spirit of World Book Day on Mar. 2 by showing up at New York Presbyterian hospital to read Dr. Seuss books to sick children. Even better? She did so on the author’s birthday, which is SO fitting! The First Lady arrived at the hospital at 11:04 a.m., according to Daily Mail, and reportedly spent around two hours with the youngsters. But Melania didn’t come empty handed! In fact, she brought “many” Dr. Seuss books with her, which were in a white box tied with gold ribbon.
“I came to encourage you to read,” Melania told the patients before beginning her aloud reading of Oh, the Places You’ll Go! Later she added that she wanted the kids to think about “what you want to achieve in life.” How inspirational of her! The sweet visit marked the first time Melania has gone out to volunteer in New York City as First Lady. However, it wasn’t her first time as FLOTUS visiting with young patients. Melania actually was in DC at a children’s hospital just the day before!
“Thank you for welcoming me @ChildrensHealth. My prayers and thoughts are with all of the children and families. #GROWUPSTRONGER,” Melania wrote on her official First Lady Twitter account after visiting Children’s National on Mar. 1. She also posted a pic of herself smiling and standing with a few of the patients and their parents in the hospital’s new healing garden.
After her visit, Melania released a statement that read, “I am a passionate believer in integrating and interpreting nature’s elements into our daily lives to create a warm, nurturing and positive environment. I believe that these same natural benefits can be instrumental to enhancing the health and well-being of all children.” She added, “It is important to me that children can recognize, identify and express their feelings in order to promote their mental wellness and healing process.” And it seems like she’s just as passionate about children reading!
Tell us, HollywoodLifers — are you surprised this is the first time Melania has read to sick kids since becoming FLOTUS?
By this point in Moochie’s time in the White House she was planning how to takeover what we feed our children.
I love how feminine our First Lady is.
I remember reading that Hillary showed up at children’s hospital during the campaign. word got out that she thought the children looked to sick for the picture opportunity so instead pictures were shot with children of the staff not the patients.
You can tell she genuinely loves children. Very warm smile.
The schools in my area according to the news are having plenty of trouble getting especially poor kids to eat. Heavily Democrat.

HOORAY Melania
FLOTUS Melania Trump is visiting sick kids. Kids probably made sick by the priors FLOTUS lunches at school
My first thought also. Remember the picture with Melania and Cruz’s girls. The girls were so taken with her...instantly.
Thanks for the reminder.
God help her if any of the children were Russian.
LOL, I needed that laugh.
Democrats Outraged!
This picture provides an excellent avenue of attack.
There is a black child in the picture but is Melania paying attention to her? NO! She is ignoring the black, JUST LIKE HER HUSBAND WILL IGNORE AFRICAN-AMERICANS, PARTICULARLY CHILDREN!
(/liberal)
She reminds me so much of my sister. Kids adore her.
RATs were spawned in and live in the sewer; just my opinion!
She was wearing black stilettos, a soft, blue sweater and a long black coat. She had a huge diamond ring on her left hand, and her long hair fell over her shoulders. When she got to a passage in the book about a slump, she looked at the children and said, So sometimes you dont feel good, right? But then what do you do?

I studied some medieval history at college and Melania reminds a lot of the great Eleanor of Aquatine.
Beautiful, graceful, charming and fiercely intelligent. She lights up every room she enters
