Z2 cofounder Sridhar Reddy says "Goon Holler is, for us, that welcome breath of fresh air. It's been a pretty tough time for the world and we're so glad we can welcome a story that is bright, fun and full of pure joy. While the book is meant for young readers it has also managed to melt our cold adult hearts; the music is super smart and you can't help but get up and move. Parker (Jacobs) has given us the absolute perfect tonic for our enclosed, sedentary lives and opened up a new world full of sights, sounds and the real meaning of community and friendship. Goon Holler just might be the most timely book we've ever published."
