Playing off “The Wheels on the Bus,” this nursery rhyme book from a founder of Drag Story Hour is a fun, freewheeling celebration of being your most fabulous self.
 
The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish encourages readers to boldly be exactly who they are. Written by a founding member of the nationally recognized Drag Story Hour (DSH), this playful picture book offers a quirky twist on a classic nursery rhyme by illustrating all of the ways to “work it”. The story plays off “The Wheels on the Bus” as it follows a drag queen who performs her routine in front of an awestruck audience. A fun frenzy of fierceness, this book will appeal to readers of all ages.

Genre:

  • "This book's gonna werk, werk, werk all through Pride Month and beyond. Drag persona Lil Miss Hot Mess rewrites 'The Wheels on the Bus' to create a fun, movement-filled, family-friendly celebration of drag. . . . Appropriately psychedelic. . . . Fun, fun, fun all through the town!"
    Kirkus Reviews, starred review
  • "It's much more than a parody. It's an expression of the collectiveness of the drag community."
    Matthew Winner, The Children's Book Podcast
