About the author

The book is attributed to Victoria Parker. The author bio included with this edition references Victor Ray Bowling (born 16 January 1970), known by his stage persona Victoria "Porkchop" Parker — an American drag queen and actor who gained attention on the first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Mention of this background provides a unique context: a recognizable public figure connected to LGBTQ+ visibility and performance, which may resonate with families seeking inclusive perspectives. The approachable authorial voice makes sensitive topics feel less intimidating and more relatable.
