DANIELLE MARIETTA
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.

"You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say."
F. Scott Fitzgerald

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.
