First Lady Jill Biden appeared maskless Monday to read her book to a crowd of masked children in the White House.

In a clip posted by CSPAN online, video shows the State Dining Room full of second graders from Malcolm Elementary School in Waldorf, Maryland, sitting apart from each other and all wearing masks, according to a first lady pool report. The report noted it was a total of 17 kids all wearing masks and wrist bands to indicate they had been COVID tested.

FLOTUS came into the room to read a book she co-wrote with her granddaughter Natalie titled, “Don’t Forget, God Bless Our Troops,” the pool report noted. The first lady was not wearing a mask while the kids all had their faces covered. (RELATED: Jill Biden Defends Education Doctorate: ‘One Of The Things I’m Most Proud Of’)
