The Loudness of Sam (Harcourt, ISBN 0-15-202087-X) is a 1999 American children's book written and illustrated by James Proimos.[1]
Sam is a child whose laughs and cries were extraordinarily loud. "Is that nuts and bolts in the blender?" "No, that's just the baby." One day, Sam visits his quiet aunt in the city. On the last day of the visit, she laughs loudly, because the loudness of Sam is contagious![2]
The Loudness of Sam has its own animated television series, produced by the Canadian company Nelvana Enterprises, Inc..
