Hi!  My name is Daryl Cobb.  I am a
singer/songwriter/performer and the
author of 14 fun children's books.  I'm
so glad you chose to visit my site!  

Last year my author visits took me to
over 80 schools where I had a chance to
meet and inspire nearly fifty thousand
students.  I am proud to say that my
interactive educational assemblies --

“A Writers Journey”,
"Interactive Writer's Workshop"
and “Music & Storytime",

-- have received rave reviews from
students, educators and cultural arts
coordinators everywhere.  My live story
writing workshop is so inspiring that it
will leave your students and teachers
requesting to do it again.  

See you at school!

Author Visits by Daryl Cobb!
   “Cobb’s 14th book comes complete
with pirates, mysterious messages and
a magic ring. . . . The characters are
rich and beautifully rendered, and the
story is sprinkled with humor. . . . Much
of the dialogue − especially between
Peter and Monk and Antonio and
Marcus − is delightfully silly.  . . . [A]
spirited swashbuckling tale of mystery
and magic.”  
Kirkus Reviews says that Pirates: The Ring
of Hope is ... [A] spirited swashbuckling tale
of mystery and magic.

Daryl Cobb's programs have received a rating of excellent by BOCES
"The students were engaged the whole time -- I loved it! The music and stories
were wonderful and the program information was adjusted appropriately for the
PreK to 2 group, and the 3-6 group.  You are a talented author, entertainer…
just a GREAT talent!!

We live in an era where the imagination
is being stunted by technology and it is
now a challenge to get our children
motivated to read and write.  Creative
writing is so important for children to
learn because it is one thing that will
still allow them to flex those creative
muscles.  I believe that students need
to experience this art form in a way
that will truly help them to not only
understand the importance of writing,
but to allow them to experience the
simple joy of it, as well. Whether it is
through song lyrics, storytelling or
books, children need to see that writing
is fun, as reading is fun, and they need
to experience what it feels like to bring
ideas to life.  

There are few things left in our kids'
lives that allow them to use their
imaginations like reading and writing
do.  So help me spread the word and
let me show your students that writing
and reading are adventures worth
taking.
