Description
From hip-hop pioneer Darryl "DMC" McDaniels comes Darryl's Dream, a new picture book about creativity, confidence, and finding your voice. Darryl is a quiet third grader with big hopes and dreams. He loves writing and wants to share his talents, but he's shy—and the kids who make fun of his glasses only make things worse. Will the school talent show be his chance to shine? Darryl's Dream is a story about finding confidence, facing bullies, and celebrating yourself. This full-color picture book is certain to entertain children and parents with its charming art and important message.
