Jill Biden dressed up as Willow the First Cat, and she hoped this year’s party would inspire families to enjoy spooky stories together.

"From famous literary tales and ghost stories to the spooktacular thrill of reading, we hope families and children pick out their favorite Halloween book, grab a flashlight, and take a moment to enjoy storytime together," said the first lady.
