Daryl's Author Visits program "A Writer's Journey" is an amazing mix of music, storytelling, and graphics all woven together to teach children about the creative writing process. Daryl combines music and graphics to teach kids how to collect details. He uses storytelling and graphics to teach them about using small moments, and live action readings and skits to give them a better understanding of creating conflict and resolution. 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.
This interactive education assembly is tailored to each grade level attending and the time in which he has to present it. New this year for Grades 4-8 is a live performance from Daryl's award-winning children's novel Baseball, Bullies & Angels (Chapter 10, Diplomacy).
