Pizza Hut is facing calls for a boycott after it promoted a children's book that featured a little boy who dresses in drag.
Big Wig, by Jonathan Hillman, tells the story of a little boy who likes to dress up, and whose wig gives magical powers to those who wear it.
The publishers, Simon and Schuster, said the book, published in February, 'celebrates the universal childhood experience of dressing up and the confidence that comes with putting on a costume.'
Yet the backlash was immediate.
Radio host Todd Starnes said: 'Over the past few years #pizzahut has had to close hundreds of restaurants.
'Maybe they should spend more time perfecting their pizza instead of grooming preschoolers to be drag queens?'
Pizza Hut sponsors a program which incentivizes kids in PreK-6th grade to read books. This week, one of their suggested books is “Big Wig.” A book about a child who becomes a drag performer.

4 of my 5 kids are at a drag show right now. Zero sexual content. The adult show starts at 6 and I'll be joining the wife after the kids come home.
