Hexe Noire's Drag Storytime, an event by the Hamilton Public Library, had around 138 people in attendance.
"Kids often feel that they're not the same as other people," Noire told CBC Hamilton. "I think it's important for kids to know that that's okay, that's what makes the world beautiful."by Todd Parr. Noire said her favourite part of the book is where it says, "it's okay to eat macaroni and cheese in the bathtub."
"[The uncle] has a little bit of turmoil about what his friends that know him as his male persona will think and what his friends that know him as a female persona will think and just that it's okay that he can be both."The event was a first for the branch, but not for HPL. Noire was also at the Binbrook branch on Nov. 14.
While it was the first at Terryberry, this was not Noire's first storytime. She has read for many other kids all over Hamilton."For my community, for myself, for the people around me that I love and admire, programs like this are necessary."
