I remember taking my niece to a drag queen story hour at the local library, and it was such a joyful experience! One book that stood out was 'The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish' by Lil Miss Hot Mess. It’s a playful twist on 'The Wheels on the Bus,' celebrating self-expression and inclusivity. Another favorite is 'Julian Is a Mermaid' by Jessica Love, which beautifully captures a child’s imagination and the power of being yourself. 'Red: A Crayon’s Story' by Michael Hall is also fantastic—it’s about a crayon mislabeled as red but discovers it’s actually blue. These books aren’t just fun; they teach kids about diversity and acceptance in the most colorful way.

As someone who’s volunteered at LGBTQ+ family events, I’ve seen firsthand how drag queen storytimes can light up kids’ faces. 'This Day in June' by Gayle E. Pitman is a vibrant, poetic celebration of Pride, perfect for introducing little ones to the spirit of inclusivity. Another gem is 'Maiden & Princess' by Daniel Haack and Isabel Galupo, a fairy tale that flips the script with a maiden who falls for a princess instead of the prince.

For older kids, 'The Prince and the Dressmaker' by Jen Wang is a graphic novel about a prince who loves wearing dresses—it’s heartwarming and visually stunning. And don’t overlook 'I Am Jazz' by Jessica Herthel and Jazz Jennings, a true story about a transgender girl that’s both simple and profound. These books aren’t just stories; they’re tools for sparking conversations about identity and love in the most engaging way.

Drag queen story hours are a blast, and the books they pick are always full of life and lessons. 'Sparkle Boy' by Lesléa Newman is a sweet tale about a boy who loves glittery, shiny things, even if his sister doesn’t understand at first. It’s a great way to talk about gender expression with kids. 'They She He Me: Free to Be!' by Maya Gonzalez is an interactive book that explores pronouns and identity in a fun, accessible way.

Another standout is 'A Family Is a Family Is a Family' by Sara O’Leary, which celebrates all kinds of families, including those with LGBTQ+ parents. For a touch of fantasy, 'The Paper Bag Princess' by Robert Munsch is a classic—it’s about a princess who rescues a prince and doesn’t care about fancy clothes. These books make storytelling time not just entertaining but also a moment for kids to see the world’s beautiful diversity.

He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

I've been a drag show enthusiast for years, and I love how drag queens bring stories to life with their vibrant personalities. Some queens are absolute legends when it comes to reading events at libraries. Bianca Del Rio is a fan favorite because of her razor-sharp wit and hilarious storytelling—kids and adults alike can't get enough of her. Trixie Mattel is another standout with her folksy charm and musical flair, making storytime feel like a cozy campfire session. Then there’s Bob the Drag Queen, whose dynamic energy and comedic timing turn even the simplest tales into unforgettable performances. These queens don’t just read; they transform books into full-blown entertainment spectacles, complete with sass, flair, and a whole lot of heart.

What Are The Controversies Around Drag Queens Library Reading?

3 Answers2025-07-04 00:28:40
As someone who frequents libraries and follows cultural debates, I've noticed the drag queen library readings spark intense discussions. Supporters argue these events promote inclusivity, literacy, and self-expression, especially for LGBTQ+ youth. They see drag queens as vibrant storytellers who make reading fun while challenging gender norms. Critics, however, claim such events expose children to adult themes prematurely, arguing drag is inherently performative and sexualized. Some parents feel their rights are overlooked when schools or libraries host these without opt-out options. The tension often centers on whether these readings are educational or ideological, with both sides digging in. Local governments sometimes get involved, leading to heated town halls or even book bans. It’s a clash of values—free expression versus parental control—with no easy resolution.

I’ve helped organize a few drag queen story hours, and the key is balancing fun and inclusivity. Start by finding a local library or community center open to hosting. Reach out to drag performers in your area—many are eager to participate, especially for family-friendly events. Promote it on social media with colorful graphics and hashtags like #DragStoryHour. Keep the vibe interactive: let kids ask questions, include sing-alongs, and pick books celebrating diversity, like 'Julian Is a Mermaid' or 'Red: A Crayon’s Story.' Have a small budget for props or costumes to make it extra engaging. Local LGBTQ+ groups often collaborate or share the event, so tap into those networks for support.

I've seen firsthand how drag queens bring stories to life in a way that captivates kids. Their performances are vibrant, expressive, and full of energy, making reading sessions feel like mini-shows. This dynamic approach keeps children engaged and excited about books, especially those who might otherwise find reading boring. Drag queens often choose stories that celebrate diversity and self-acceptance, subtly teaching kids valuable lessons about inclusivity. The colorful costumes and theatrical flair also help break down gender stereotypes, showing children that it's okay to be themselves. Many parents have told me their kids leave these events more open-minded and eager to read again, which speaks volumes about the program's impact.
