• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

There are defining moments in the life of a child; when one learns to roller skate or ride a bike, when one learns to read, when one learns to whistle. As the boy in The Shadow Who Stole the Whistle masters his new skill, he ignores everything and everyone in his all-consuming effort to master his new talent. That excluded his closest companion and best friend, his shadow, from his life, and we all know it's not easy to accept being ignored. The shadow's solution and eventual understanding that what he did was wrong, sets the stage for a magical short story that entertains, embraces honesty, and culminates in an emotional, happy ending.

Children's author, poet, storyteller, singer-songwriter, musician and performer, Darrell House, creates wonderful stories and songs, and his CD of original, spoken word poetry, Speed-B-B-B-Bumps earned a 2010 Parents' Choice Gold award. His most recent book, The King of Fish, was recognized as 2012 Best Published Children's Picture Book by the Florida Writer's Association in their annual Royal Palm Literary Awards. His style and imagination continue to win fans in school and library presentations all over America.

Autorenporträt

Children's author, poet, storyteller, musician and singer/songwriter,
Darrell House wears a lot of hats. Described as Grizzly Adams meets
Key West, he has a magnetic personality and is a powerful performer.
Having presented in hundreds of schools and libraries, he is also a regular
performer, nationwide, at Reading Festivals and Early Childhood
Education Conferences. Miller the Green Caterpillar, his children's
picture book, is an inspirational story of setting goals, and his two
CD's of original music, Underneath the Cushions on the Couch and
Makes Me Feel Like Singing are packed with original songs enjoyed by
kids and parents alike. Speed-B-B-B-Bumps, a spoken word CD collection
of mostly humorous poems, earned a 2010 Parents' Choice Gold Award,
and autumn 2011 witnessed the arrival of his beautifully illustrated
children's book, The King of Fish, winner of the Florida Writer's Association
Royal Palm Literary Award. In 2015 House's first chapter book, Bennie & Bonnie
earned Third Place Honors in the RPLA literary Awards. Accompanying himself
on acoustic guitar, Darrell captivates an audience like few can, and the way he embraces literacy
and family values get kids excited about reading and writing.
