Join Matchmaker Bookshop in partnership with Highwood Pride in welcoming local drag artist Mrs. Yuka for our very first Drag Story Hour!
WHAT IS DRAG STORY HOUR?
It’s just what it sounds like! Storytellers using the art of drag to read books to kids in libraries, schools, and bookstores.
DSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.
In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where everyone can be their authentic selves!
OUR MISSION
Drag Story Hour celebrates reading through the glamorous art of drag. Our affiliate network creates diverse, accessible, and culturally-inclusive family programming where kids can express their authentic selves and become bright lights of change in their communities.
OUR VISION
We envision a world where kids can learn from LGBTQ+ stories and experiences to love themselves, celebrate the fabulous diversity in their communities, and stand up for what they believe in and each other,
Please note that this is a ticketed event. Tickets prices are a sliding scale donation with a suggested donation of $5 per family! All donations go directly to the artist and Drag Story Hour’s registered 501©3
