A school librarian refused to accept a donation of books from the First Lady after she tried to deliver the tomes for National Read A Book Day.

The elementary school librarian from Massachusetts explained in a blog that she had refused the set of 10 Dr Seuss books because she disagreed with actions by the Trump administration.

Earlier this month, the White House said it had worked "with the Department of Education to identify schools with programs that have achieved high standards of excellence" and donated 10 books to a school in each state accordingly.

Cambridgeport Elementary School librarian Liz Phipps Soiero spoke of why, despite the fact her school was chosen to receive the donation of The Cat in The Hat books, she would not accept.
