Thirty children, one as young as 9 months old, attended Drag Queen Story Book hour in Washington, D.C. last Saturday.

Cake, a local celebrity drag queen, wore tons of makeup,a bright pink wig, a glitter leotard outfit, and high heels and with his legs exposed, sang songs and read books to young children and parents, according to the Daily Caller.

“Drag Queen Story Hour,” was held in conjunction with D.C. Public Library and took place in the district’s Adams Morgan neighborhood.

According to the Drag Queen Story Hour official website, they have 45 independently operated chapters, and their event has spread to schools, libraries, camps, afterschool programs, museums, and other community spaces across the U.S.

The Drag Queen Story Hour intends to capture children’s imagination and help them explore their gender fluidity through “glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.”

One mother to a 9-month-old, explained, “It just sounded like a really fun event, different things to do on a Saturday morning. It’s nice to find things that bring the local community together.”

Another parent said she likes to bring her one-year-old daughter, “This is my second one that I’ve brought her to. As she gets older, she pays more attention, loves the stories, and so yeah, we will keep coming. We like the diversity and the community.”
