Daryl's writing began in college as a Theatre Arts major at Virginia Commonwealth University. He found a freshman writing class inspiring and combined with his love for music and the guitar, he discovered that he had a talent that would motivate him for years to come. Most of his written work is specifically for children, some of which was originally created for his own two children as bedtime stories.

"Daryl,
The best educational assembly we have ever had!"
Mercedes Berrios, Principal, Elizabeth Moore School, Seabrook, NJ
“Daryl,
Your presentation for our School House Reads event was wonderful! I loved your music and songs. It really kept the students’ attention. They were interested and captivated by your work. Parents and teachers also thought you were a hit! We hope to have you back next year for our Read Across America week.
Thank you very much!
[p.s.] Your displays were awesome! Books are phenomenal! Love them!”
- Hillary Della Penna, Librarian at East Amwell School, Ringoes, NJ

Program Info
Program Descriptions:
My presentations teach audiences about writing, illustrating and creative thinking. I use creative arts such as music, sing-a-longs, storytelling, interactive exercises, readers’ theater and graphic images to create a visually stimulating and entertaining show. I use my books in this presentation to touch on points like the importance of conflict within a story, developing detail with words and to show the students how the illustrator develops the story -- from character development, storyboards, thumbnails, rough pencils, right down to the finished illustrations. This lively assembly is propelled along with the help of a specially prepared Power Point show that is used to display all 180 graphics.
