Gainesville resident Emily Gaddy penned her second children’s book titled “Roll Tide Roll.” She dedicated the book to Eli Ligon and is donating a portion of the proceeds to the organization CURE Childhood Cancer. Eli was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in March.
Becoming a pack of elephants in a family friend’s book is something the Ligons will likely never forget. The Gainesville family is featured in Emily Gaddy’s second collegiate children’s book released Monday called “Roll Tide Roll!” Similar to her 2015 premiere book “Go Bulldogs!” her newest book follows a family — caricatured elephants based on the Ligon family of Carol Ann, Rusty, Eli and Emily — trekking through the University of Alabama campus and heading to a football game.
