Gollywood Here I Come! Children's Book Review & Giveaway

 Just in Time for Turkey Day, Gollywood Here I Come!

Waddles Into Stores and Online November 11, 2014

Los Angeles, CA (October 1, 2014) – Who doesn’t fantasize about becoming a big movie star, living up all the glitz, glam and glory that comes with it?  A talented little turkey named Anamazie Marie LaBelle sure does, only her dream becomes reality in the delightful new children’s book Gollywood Here I Come!, written by director/choreographer-turned author Terry John Barto, which waddles into stores and online November 11, 2014, just in time for Thanksgiving.

Growing up in the small town of Gobbleville, Anamazie studied acting, singing and dancing while basking in the local spotlight as a star baton twirler.  Opportunity comes knocking when the competition Gobbleville’s Got Talent gives Anamazie her shot at being discovered.  With her mom Henrietta at her back, she makes it all the way to the finals, but falls short of the top prize. That is where her path to stardom truly begins as she is discovered by a talent scout, is cast in her first movie and declares “Gollywood, Here I Come!”

With colorful whimsical illustrations by Mattia Cerato, Gollywood Here I Come!  taps into current pop culture trends of TV shows like “America’s Got Talent” and “American Idol; and the public’s fascination with celebrities and movie stars.  At its heart, the story leaves young readers with the positive message “You can do anything if you work hard and never give up.”

Our Thoughts

Competition should be my youngest daughters middle name. From becoming a veterinarian to a police officer, among many other things, this child is talented beyond belief. She wants to do everything and she wants to do it right and be a star! One of her favorite shows is America's Got Talent and she is fascinated by all things that use her creative instinct.

Gollywood Here I come is a book that she really connects with. She sees the character using her talents and striving to be her best. This book encourages my daughter to not give up and to follow your passions, it shows her that she doesn't have to choose one path for her future, but she can achieve all the amazing goals she has set for herself.

Gollywood Here I Come! is a true inspiration that is great for every child!
