Rainbow Storytime and Living Library have become an extremely popular and beneficial fixture all over Aotearoa.
​
Taranaki drag queens, Erika & CoCo Flash have been delivering these sessions for 4 years including performing nationwide tours. Rainbow Storytime has been featured on nation television and recognised by being a finalist at the NZ LGBT Awards as well as earning creator and founder, Sunita Torrance a Kiwibank Local Hero Award as part of New Zealander of the Year.
​
Rainbow Storytime is aimed at toddlers and younger children with storybooks, dancing and songs all about kindness, acceptance, confidence and anti-bullying.
Living Library is for older children/teens and adults who want to have more of a Q&A and discussion forum and/or are very interested in drag and performance. We cover LGBTQIA+ issues, dealing with online bullying and hate, staying safe on the internet, where to find support nationally and locally.
​
Erika & CoCo are currently taking bookings for their next 2022 national tour and also taking one-off bookings for events and locations wanting a specialised or general theme theme.
