A long, long time ago lived a lonely newspaper boy. To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of one of the top songs of the twentieth century, Don McLean has written a children' s book with Judith A. Proffer that weaves themes from the iconic song with experiences from his early life and, in true "American Pie" form, offers meaningful elements open to interpretation. American Pie is the story of a newspaper delivery boy in the late ' 50s who discovers the joy of friendship and music, eventually learning that when you recognize what truly makes you happy, you' re never really alone. Released in 1971, "American Pie" was named one of the top five songs of the century by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America.
Don McLean is a Grammy Award honoree, a Songwriter Hall of Fame member, a BBC Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, and his smash hit "American Pie" resides in the Library of Congress National Recording Registry and was named by the Recording Industry of America (RIAA) a top five song of the twentieth century. Don McLean is one of the most revered and respected songwriters in American history, having scored mega-hits like "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)," "Castles in the Air" and many more. 2021 marks the fiftieth anniversary of American Pie!Judith A. Proffer founded Southern California-based and award-winning Huqua Press in 2010 as an independent publishing house. Previously Proffer spent twenty-five years in newspaper publishing, including nearly two decades with the alternative press (LA Weekly, OC Weekly, Village Voice Media) where she was associate publisher and publisher, followed by co-ownership of the Sun Community Newspaper chain in the San Fernando Valley. She is the editor of I Hope You Dance, The Power of Spirit and Song and co-author of two other children' s books, When We Stayed Home and Broadway Baby.
