✨ Happy International Drag Day! ✨

At Annick Press, we believe every child deserves stories that celebrate creativity, self-expression, and the freedom to be exactly who they are.

That’s why we’re proud to be publishing Little Bee: The Storytime Extravaganza by Danny Neville and illustrated by Colleen McKeown, the second book in the Little Bee series, on August 25, 2026. A joyful story about friendship, gender expression, allyship, and the magic of drag queen storytime. 🦋💖👑

Drag has always been about art, community, and celebrating individuality, and drag queen storytimes continue that tradition by creating welcoming spaces where young readers can discover the joy of books and the beauty of being themselves.

Today and every day, we celebrate drag artists, support drag queen storytimes, and stand with the communities that make space for imagination, acceptance, and self-expression. 🌈📚
