About “Darryl’s Dream”: Meet Darryl, 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, by iconic performer Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, 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. (c/o Amazon).
About “Darryl’s Christmas In Hollis”: As Christmas approaches, Darryl is exploding with holiday anticipation! But first, he needs a new pair of glasses. A trip to the eye doctor opens his eyes to the many ways people celebrate the holidays. When he tries on their new cultural frames, he sees everything from colorful Hanukkah dreidels to the beautiful Diwali lights. Darryl learns that holiday joy comes in all shapes and sizes.

Both books come care of the creative team of Darryl “DMC” McDaniels (Author), Shawnée Warfield (Author), Johnny Warfield (Author), Tristan Tait (Illustrator).
PiercingMetal Founder Ken Pierce recently caught up with DMC at the New York Comic Con and our brief chat can be enjoyed down below from our Official YouTube Channel.
At the time of this announcement I am unsure if I will be able to swing the signing. As these are children’s books they are primarily for a certain age group and as result are not specifically for me. I’ve leafed through “Darryl’s Dream” and can say that its quite charming and “Darryl’s Christmas in Hollis” will release during the week after the actual signing so I’ve not yet seen any sample pages of it.
