About the book:
In this informative alphabet book, little Longhorns of all ages will learn about the traditions, legends, and amazing moments that make up Texas Football while learning to love reading. The Longhorn Alphabet functions on one level as an alphabet book for younger children, but the captivating writing and entertaining illustrations also allow older readers to dive deep into the rich history of the University of Texas’ football team. This book lays the groundwork for creating the next generation of passionate fans and helps families build lasting memories around sports together.

He writes for Inside Texas and is the author of the popular sports newsletter Dance With Who Brung Ya.
