Drag Queen Story Hour with Emoji Nightmare & Nikki Champagne!

Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) is just what it sounds like—drag queens reading stories to children in libraries, schools, and bookstores. DQSH 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 people can present as they wish, where dress up is real. This event was made possible with support from The Vermont Community Foundation Samara Fund. Books will be available from Everybody's Books! Read an article about this event in The Commons.

For our very special story hour,  our hosts Emoji Nightmare and Nikki Champagne will be reading from the following children's literature:

-King and King (Stern Nijland and Linda De Haan)

-A Big Guy Took My Ball (Mo Willems)

-Red: A Crayon Story (Michael Hall)
