Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish
Lil Miss Hot Mess, Olga de Dios
- Reading
- Try it as a shared read-aloud: invite your child to notice the repeated song pattern, then pause for their questions about the illustrations or performance.
- Themes
- Self-expression: A drag queen performs a routine before an audience, with the book described as encouraging readers to be themselves. The stated encouragement to be boldly oneself supports an affirming reading of self-expression.
- Worth knowing
- Drag performance is central, rather than incidental. If your child has questions about it, you may want to discuss what they notice and what the performance means to them.
