Rainbow Story Hour
Third Friday Monthly
Story time for the whole family
Imaginative and immersive fun for little readers!
Little ones are invited to settle back and listen to a story read by a member of our LGBTQIA+ community. HOTA’s Rainbow Story Hour program champions body positivity and role models in all different shapes, sizes, diversities, and encourages the imagination and play of childhood.
Featuring artists, singers, and creatives of all genre, Rainbow Story Hour is a fun way for kids to connect with their imagination, meet friends, and explore vivid realms.
Children must be accompanied by an adult or carer and cannot be left unsupervised at any time. Thank you for your understanding.
