Cover of "Socrates and Me", a comic written by Per Sia and illustrated by Ali R. Blake. The colorful cover includes a pair of shiny black heel-less heels, a swirling wig, a marigold crown and falling marigold leaves, title script written in eyeliner, a bright friendship necklace, a green plastic bag dancing in the air, and a postcard from a parent to Per Sia thanking her for her work with Drag Story Hour.The image is of a panel from the comic "Socrates and Me". The panel includes Per Sia posing with children and families after a Drag Story Hour event outside an Oakland, CA public library. The joyous and sparkling images are accompanied by text that reads "It feels so special to know that the books I read celebrate all kinds of people, but especially queer folks, especially during very challenging times for our community."
