Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Cynthia Leitich Smith Dear Reader: Have you ever imagined having a superpower? Holler is LOUD—so LOUD that the land rolls and rumbles, ripples and shimmies and shakes! He's got the makings of a tall-tale hero, if only he can control his voice. It's not easy. After all, being loud is a big part of who Holler is. What's your superpower? When I was your age, I was an expert crawdad catcher and lemonade seller and roller skater. I took home a stack of library books every Saturday. They inspired me. I started off as a poet and ended up a storyteller. Now, I tell stories about heroes with superpowers. Like Holler with his LOUD voice. I tell stories about heroes like you. For a chance to win an author signed copy, contact me at www.cynthialeitichsmith.com/cyn_events/contact.html and say "howdy."
