Children’s singer/songwriter, musician, author, poet, storyteller and performer… Darrell House wears a lot of hats. He has a magnetic personality and is a powerful performer. Having resided in South Florida for more than 40 years, he is often described as Grizzly Adams meets Key West. Darrell has presented in hundreds of schools and libraries, where many have called him “The best author visit we ever had.”  He is also a regular presenter, nationwide, at Reading Festivals and Early Childhood Education Conferences.

Miller the Green Caterpillar & 2012 Royal Palm Literary Award winner, The King of Fish, his illustrated children’s books, are inspirational stories of setting goals. His newest book, Bennie & Bonnie, his first early reader, chapter book is currently a finalist for the 2015 RPLA. Two CD’s of original music, Underneath the Cushions on the Couch and Makes Me Feel Like Singing are full of songs enjoyed by kids and parents alike. His spoken word CD, Speed-B-B-B-Bumps, is a collection of mostly humorous poems that earned a Parents’ Choice Gold Award in 2010 and is often favorably compared to the verse of Shel Silverstein. His Ebook short stories for kids and families, The Shadow Who Stole the Whistle and The Man Who Could Fix Anything are available through online retailers and downloadable on all digital media. 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.
