About once a month since last fall, the Brooklyn Public Library has been presenting Drag Queen Story Hour, where performers with names such as Lil Miss Hot Mess and Ona Louise regale an audience of young children and their parents.
There's even a drag-queen version of 'Wheels on the Bus' in which Lil Miss Hot Mess sings of hips that go 'swish, swish, swish' and heels that go 'higher, higher, higher.'
'Drag queens and children don't usually get together, which I think is a shame and one of the benefits of a program like this,' Lil Miss Hot Mess said
while putting on an outfit that included a silver sequin dress with rainbows, blue and silver glitter eyeshadow and an enormous wig of curly blond hair.
'It's great that it teaches them self-acceptance in a very general way,' she said of the program, which got its start in San Francisco.
At the most recent story hour, children ranging from infants to preschoolers heard about Penelope the hippo, the main character in 'You're Wearing THAT to School?!' by Lynn Plourde, which explores ideas of fitting in versus standing out.
