BREAKING NEWS – Plano, Texas – Pizza Hut is featuring a book about “drag kids” as one of the books promoted by its “Book It!” reading incentive program aimed at children in pre-kindergarten through 6th grade.
The “Book It!” website features a book titled “Big Wig,” and states that the reading is geared toward children in pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade.
“Big Wig” is a picture book that “celebrates drag kids,” according to a description on the Simon & Schuster website.
Simon & Schuster initially approached Godfather’s Pizza to promote a book about drag queens, but the franchise rejected the idea of having men in the Mafia wearing evening gowns with matching brass knuckles, while carrying machine guns.
