“The Fabulous Book About Families” Set for June 2023 Release

Toronto, Canada (February 8,  2023) – Canada’s Sinking Ship Entertainment (SSE)  announced today that they have signed a master publishing deal with Mango Publishing for children’s books based on The Fabulous Show with Fay and Fluffy, a preschool story time cabaret produced by Lopii Productions for Wildbrain Television. The first book under the deal, The Fabulous Show with Fay and Fluffy Presents: The Fabulous Book About Families, is set for release in June 2023.

"Lopii Productions is thrilled to be writing our first book and working with Sinking Ship and Mango Publishing to make it happen. We are super proud of The Fabulous Show with Fay and Fluffy and the positive impact it has had on children and families across the country,” said Georgina Lopez and Rennata Lopez, CEOs/Executive Producers at Lopii Productions. “We are thrilled to be given the opportunity to spread the joy of these beloved characters in print and introduce a whole new audience to our show."

"We are thrilled to be working with the talented team at Mango Publishing on The Fabulous Show brand," adds Kate Sanagan, Head of Sales and Distribution at Sinking Ship Entertainment. "We are excited for kids and families to have access to Fay and Fluffy's messages of inclusivity and empathy via the publishing medium as well as the popular TV show."

The first book under Sinking Ship’s deal with Mango Publishing, The Fabulous Show with Fay and Fluffy Presents: The Fabulous Book About Families, celebrates diverse family dynamics. Families can come in all shapes and sizes and each one shares a love that they grow together. Families can cook together, read together, and dance together. Families can be very big, or very small. Some families live in separate homes and some live all together. Accompanied by cute, expressive pictures, Fay and Fluffy explore in their new book the many ways to be a family and share fun activities for children to connect, engage, and tell their own story. The Fabulous Show with Fay and Fluffy Presents: The Fabulous Book About Families features important discussions of what it means to be a family, exciting ideas for family activities, and input from real kids to learn more about diverse family identities and experiences.

Sinking Ship Entertainment and Mango Publishing have a long-standing relationship of bringing best-selling books to readers. Previous book releases, including the Dino Dana Dino Field Guides and their newest release, the Dino Dana Activity Guide, enjoyed worldwide success.

The Fabulous Show with Fay and Fluffy is a storytime cabaret variety show for preschoolers filled with new books, puppet friends, animated characters, musical guests, and lots of love. Hosted by the dynamic drag artist duo, Fay Slift (JP Kane) and Fluffy Soufflé (Kaleb Robertson), and featuring an interactive audience of young children, each episode is bursting with silliness, songs, and community. The show shares the message of inclusivity, cheering on all the kids who watch to be proud of who they are, love themselves, and be kind to one another. In Canada, The Fabulous Show with Fay and Fluffy airs on WildBrains’ Family Jr. channel. Sinking Ship represents the series internationally.

Beloved drag performers Fay and Fluffy are based in Toronto, Canada and have been a storytime duo since 2016. The duo will be hosting the 2023 Kidscreen Awards at the upcoming Kidscreen Summit in Miami.
