Have you ever read a book and then watched its movie adaptation or vice versa? What have you noticed?

The book is more detailed! It allows you to feel, react, and act in a certain way because books have a power that resonates with the reader in a way that no other medium does. So, we need more books on the front line, especially in this age of social media filters and edits.

In this episode, we have The King of Rock and Hip-Hop, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, in our author spotlight! DMC is a musical icon, motivator, philanthropist, and multiple book author that continues to inspire and impact the world.

His most recent book, "Darryl's Dream" encourages children to feel their emotions, have confidence, and express themselves to be successful in their own way.

During the conversation, we talk about why stories are necessary to the development of the younger generation, how corny words can spark meaningful conversations, and how books influence children in achieving their dreams.
