Description

Hardcover – Picture Book
Little People, BIG DREAMS – Volume 61

This joyful picture-book biography introduces young readers to RuPaul — the groundbreaking performer, artist, and television host who has encouraged generations to express themselves with confidence and pride.

As a child, Ru loved playing dress-up and exploring creativity through clothing, movement, and imagination. These small acts of self-expression grew into a lifelong love of performance and artistry. After studying performing arts and moving to New York City, Ru found a community of artists, musicians, and drag performers who celebrated individuality and supported each other’s dreams.

RuPaul’s drag became a powerful way to share joy, inspire confidence, and build community. He uplifted others, helping performers find their own voices, shine on stage, and be proud of who they are.

With bright, whimsical illustrations and simple storytelling perfect for young readers, this book encourages children to be bold, be kind, and love themselves exactly as they are.

Includes:

• A biographical timeline

• Archival photos

• A short profile of RuPaul’s life and legacy
