Set in breathtaking Sequoia National Park, Wowsabout follows Roxy, a free-spirited singing hedgehog,
and Ronald, an overprepared, tree-loving pig. She’s chasing “magical giants,” he’s after a Junior Ranger
badge. Through nature’s AWE, plus music and art, they discover unexpected friendship in a hilarious,
heartwarming musical adventure!
Roxy (Roxana Anna Diana) is a free-spirited hedgehog from the sunflower fields of Kansas who chases WOW moments wherever they lead. With her pink hiking boots stomping and her guitar swinging, Roxy is a joyful extrovert and gifted songwriter. She has journeyed to Sequoia National Forest in search of the magical giants that her Grammy once told her about. Though her Grammy has passed, Roxy wears a locket containing her picture. She opens the locket to share the WOWs with Grammy as if she were still there. A joyful extrovert and gifted songwriter, she believes the whole planet is her home and trusts that awe, a song, and a best friend will lead her exactly where she needs to be.
Ronald (Ronald E. Piggington) is an enthusiastic city pig with a bowtie and a comically huge backpack who has come to Sequoia National Forest to earn his Junior Ranger Badge and finally see the legendary sequoia trees. Raised in Washington D.C., tech-savvy and impeccably prepared for any adventure, he can say positive words in one hundred languages, except squirrel, which is very tricky. It’s his very first time in the great outdoors, and while he may have studied every trail map twice, nothing quite prepares him for the wonder of standing beneath a giant Sequoia tree, especially with Roxy by his side.
