The book, called “Ernest Hummingbird,” is a children’s story, recommended for those in kindergarten to fourth grade, of a lovable young hummingbird named Ernest who wants to sing and not just hum, according to the book’s description.

Ernest ends up taking his two best friends on a journey to pursue his dream, while experiencing anticipation, wonder and occasionally disappointment.

The book is paired with a storybook application, available on the Apple Store, and is narrated by Darius Rucker, a country music artist and musician in the American rock band, Hootie & the Blowfish.

Thayer, who wrote and produced the music for the book, will be accompanied by other stars.

Santa Clarita celebrities Sara Rowe and Sara Niemietz are also expected to join Thayer and Feiss.

Rowe is a tween star in Hollywood, known for her appearances as an actress on Grey’s Anatomy, Henry Danger, Awesomeness TV and Dreamworks TV. Niemietz achieved fame as a standout singer for PostModern Jukebox, and was first discovered by Ellen DeGeneres and featured on Ellen.

Feiss, the author of the book, joined Hanna Barbera around 1978 while still a teenager. He worked on the 1980s revival of The Jetsons and was the head of the animated film “Open Season,” among others.

The book reading and sing-along is set to be followed by a book signing located at Barnes and Noble at 23630 Valencia Blvd in Valencia on Saturday, March 31 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
