About This Book
"If You're a Drag Queen and You Know It" is a vibrant picture book that reimagines the classic children's song "If You're Happy and You Know It" with a drag twist. Written by a founding member of Drag Queen Story Hour, it features a diverse cast of drag queens engaging in playful actions like winking, shaking their bum, and twirling. The book's core message is about joyful self-expression, embracing individuality, and celebrating the fun and creativity inherent in drag culture. It's designed to be a sing-along experience, fostering a sense of acceptance and encouraging children to be their authentic selves. Parents should be aware that while the book is lighthearted and age-appropriate, the topic of drag queens may spark conversations about gender expression and identity, which some families may wish to prepare for.
