Shreveport Mayor Ollie Tyler is
naming today, June 9, 2015, as "Billy’s Booger Day," in honor of the
release of William Joyce’s latest picture book. The proclamation will be given
at the city council meeting at 3 p.m. this afternoon. William plans to
encourage the citizens of Shreveport to embrace their "inner booger"
and pursue their passions.
The children’s book is loosely
based on Joyce’s fourth grade year, and includes a sewn-in mini-book of Joyce’s
very first book. "Billy’s Booger" is the tale of the world’s smartest
booger and one that had Joyce sent to the principal’s office at A.C. Steere.
