It’s my pleasure today to debut the book trailer for my upcoming picture book, Holler Loudly, illustrated by Barry Gott (Dutton, Nov. 11, 2010).

Holler Loudly has a voice as big as the Southwestern sky, and everywhere he goes people tell him to “Hush!” From math class to the movies and even the state fair, Holler’s LOUD voice just keeps getting on people’s nerves. But Holler can’t help himself–being loud is who he is!

Will Holler ever find a way to let loose his voice–without getting into trouble?

Holler Loudly is dedicated to the Austin Public Library and Mid-Continent Public Library.

Cynsational Notes

Thank you to P.J. “Tricia” Hoover for creating this book trailer! Tricia is the author of The Forgotten Worlds trilogy (Blooming Tree); book three–The Necropolis–will be available this fall! Hooray, Tricia!

Thank you to Tim Crow for lending his rich, southwestern voice to the narration. Tim is a teacher, a former regional advisor of Austin SCBWI, and it’s well worth checking out the video just to hear his amazing voice! Bravo, Tim!
