Holler Loudly by Cynthia Leitich Smith. Holler is the young son of the Holler family. His loud voice has always been a problem for him. His parents, teachers, and friends have hushed and shushed him his entire life, but it never helps. He continually gets in trouble for his loud voice. He ruined fishing trips, was kicked out of the movies, and scattered all the animals at the state fair’s hog-calling contest. He’s finally convinced to settle down. But when a tornado comes toward his town, Holler decides there are times to be quiet and times that require LOUD. He decides to take action: he shouts down the tornado, and breaks it up into harmless bits of breezes. Readers, as well as listeners, will have fun with this animated story, and its southern twang.
