Listen Later

The Read with Carylee Show brings the love of literature to children and gives a peek behind the scenes by evoking the joy of reading, helping children interact with authors, and displaying the hidden talent of these authors who may be living in your community. 

This episode will read "Mr. Maloof" with Danielle Marietta.

✅ ABOUT THE STORY:

Every kid is a bit goofy, and Mr. Maloof was no different. Until he grew up and became quite a grump. Then one day, a little blue hair appeared right on the top of his head. With his new blue hair and the help of some neighborhood kids, Mr. Maloof is reminded the importance of staying young at heart.

The author, Danielle Marietta, shares that the story is one that came to her in a moment while interacting with her three children. "My seven-year-old is very goofy. We are often hiding and popping out on each other and scaring each other, and sometimes we still have to remind him that there's a time and place to be silly and to have the giggles, and there are times not to. But on the whole of things, I think it's important to remember that it's still important to have fun, play, and be young as we grow up. Once you start feeling old, you'll start being old. And I don't want any of my kids ever to feel old."

✅ ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Danielle Marietta is originally from Seattle but has been living in the DC metro area for the last 15 years. While studying at Howard University, she met her husband. And although Danielle has always enjoyed writing, she did not take it seriously until she spent hours on end reading to their three children. She writes for them.
