bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
RuPaul, the shape-shifter, performer, supermodel and host of
RuPaul's Drag Race. Even before little Ru was born, a fortune
teller told his mum that he would one day be famous... It was only
a matter of time before he figured out how. Playing dress-up was
his favourite game, and that's where he felt most comfortable. Ru
went on to study performing arts and then moved to New York to mix
things up in a punk band. Later, drag was a way to express himself
as an artist. He found success for himself, then wanted to help
others find theirs. He inspires us to do what feels right and love
ourselves. This witty and wise book features stylish and quirky
illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical
timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the
inspiring performer's life. Cloth quarter binding makes this book a
