Huckabee Sanders, along with other members of the Trump administration like Betsy DeVos and Kellyanne Conway, read stories to children in a “reading nook” at the event on Monday, with Huckabee Sanders’ Easter storybook focusing on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This isn’t the first time that a White House press secretary has notably participated in the annual White House Easter Egg Roll; former White House press secretary Sean Spicer memorably donned the bunny costume while he was an assistant trade representative for media and public affairs in the Bush administration. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5224637/sarah-huckabee-sanders-story-reading-white-house-easter-egg-roll-2018/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5224637/sarah-huckabee-sanders-story-reading-white-house-easter-egg-roll-2018/"},"headline":"Sarah Huckabee Sanders Does Story Time at the White House Easter Egg Roll","datePublished":"2018-04-02T16:52:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:51:47.562Z","description":"Time to get down to business","url":"https://time.com/5224637/sarah-huckabee-sanders-story-reading-white-house-easter-egg-roll-2018/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta169c7717367561c/69892c988fd2ee367835b35a/gettyimages-931061112.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta169c7717367561c/69892c988fd2ee367835b35a/gettyimages-931061112.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"White House Press Secretary Delivers Daily Press Briefing","caption":"White House Press Secretary Delivers Daily Press Briefing","creditText":"Bloomberg—Bloomberg via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5224637/sarah-huckabee-sanders-story-reading-white-house-easter-egg-roll-2018/","name":"Sarah Huckabee Sanders Does Story Time at the White House Easter Egg Roll"}}]}] ```
