DANIELLE MARIETTA

Mr. Maloof is an International Book Award winner: Children's Fiction Softcover!

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.

MR. MALOOF REVIEWS

Christina Hill

This book is SO sweet!! It has a powerful message of harnessing your inner child and being playful no matter your age. My four year old daughter loves this book and has asked me to read it several times over. Seeing the blue hair sprout on Mr. Maloof's head brings the biggest smile from her.
My six and eight year old have also enjoyed it. My six year old was pretty ecstatic to see one of the kids in the book was wearing glasses like him!

Highly recommend this book and the message it shares!

THE HOLLY-DAY AFTER REVIEWS

Jana + Koa

Who doesn’t love traditions! And Christmas in July? Sign me up. Danielle Marietta’s debut children’s book is out on July 1st and on track to be a family favorite for the season. From pancake contests to planting trees after the holidays to give back, Black Santa's and Family wisdom, this book is thoughtful and darling through and through. Reading it evoked the coziness and wonder filled comfort we feel all December. The pages are not glossy like books from major publishers but it doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of the book at all. Koa says, "It‘s fun that they have a holiday after. I want that too!“
You can support a Black, female author and pre-order the book now.
