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.
