RuPaul (Little People, Big Dreams)

From the Little People, Big Dreams series, this adorable little biographical volume on the life of RuPaul will introduce your child to this totally fabulous fixture in queer life in America and beyond. Before Ru was even born, his mom had been told by a fortune teller that he would become famous. Growing up, dress up was always Ru's favorite game, and later in his life drag would become an important mode of self-expression. Studying performing arts in New York and playing in a punk band, Ru made a name for himself and ultimately found his way into the TV industry. An accessible and entertaining biography appropriate for children of all ages, author Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara and illustrator Wednesday Holmes have created a beautiful homage to this queer icon.
