![]() ![]() LIL MISS: I love that kids just inherently understand drag: they don’t care what’s under all of the makeup or wigs or sparkles, they’re there to absorb stories, sing and dance, and ask excellent questions. Kids have a natural curiosity that is so genuine, and they’re not weighed down by all of society’s baggage. And they really like to have fun, so it’s such a treat to get your giggles out together! MUTHA: What inspires you about performing for kids? ![]() LIL MISS: This book is for anyone who wants to add a little extra swishing, shimmying, and twirling in their lives. It’s for kids who are curious about playing with gender, or just playing dress up and inventing their own characters! That’s the beauty of drag: it’s really a pretty expansive concept, and doesn’t take anything more than what you already have in your closet or under your bed. So my goal is for all kids to give drag a try: all it eally takes is some imagination and a willingness to step outside of your comfort zone. And of course, drag isn’t for all every kid, but it never hurts to try on a new pair of shoes to see how it feels.Īnd of course, this book grew out of my work with Drag Queen Story Hour, so this book is especially for kids who already look up to drag queens, as well as those in cities and towns that don’t have DQSH chapters yet. Get the book, break out your dramatic reading voice, and then tune in THIS SATURDAY for the Drag Queen Story Hour Pride celebration dance party!Īnd thanks to Lil Miss for chatting with us all about the who/what/why and wow of her new book… It’s Lil Miss, No Less / photo by Joe Montana We’re super excited to celebrate this publication-I mean, it’s from our friend and favorite-favorite queen, Lil Miss Hot Mess, no less!
