President Joe Biden and his wife Jill have visited the Children’s National Hospital in Washington DC two days before Christmas where they met patients and read them a story.

Sitting in front of a Christmas tree, the President helped hold the book while the First Lady read from The Snowy Day, an award-winning story about a boy named Peter and his adventures in the snow.
