Author Visits by State

This is a 40-45-minute-long music and story presentation that will have the children singing, clapping and having the best time ever.  During this program Daryl will pull out his guitar and get the students singing. He will keep them engaged with his books and his storytelling skills. To see Daryl at work just click on his Author Visits program "Music & Storytime".

Daryl's Author Visits program "A Writer's Journey" is an amazing mix of music, storytelling and graphics all weaved together to teach children about the creative writing process. Daryl combines music and graphics to teach kids how to collect detail. He uses storytelling and graphics to teach them about using small moments and creating conflict.  Daryl will take the kids on a journey that is so much fun, that the kids won't realize until it's over, that the whole assembly was one giant writing class.

 Daryl Cobb is not only an author of children's books and music, but he is also a professional performer, which makes him one of the most dynamic and imaginative author presenters in the field today. With over 35 years' experience on stage-- actor, singer, musician, author visits performer, storyteller, Daryl takes students on an incredible interactive journey through the creative writing process. His use of creative arts (live performance, storytelling, music, reader's theatre, live action readings and interactive activities) to teach and entertain is not only amazing to watch, but it ties into the show's powerful literacy message, a message which is designed to help reinforce your school's writing curriculum.
