This is Darrells first large scale published work, however, he is not new to writing. His literacy foundation began at an early age when he first discovered his love for listening to and reading books. Even then he understood and appreciated what a good book has to offer its reader. By the age of twelve Etienne had already attended six different schools, some in the inner city and some in the suburbs, which allowed him to develop a unique perspective on schooling and teachers. He was easily able to transfer these experiences into his writing. Excelling in school based English Language Arts (ELA) instruction is second nature to Darrell. This is reflected most vividly in his academic record, which consistently boasts of mastery and excellence. At the tender age of nine Darrell participated in a school wide Paw Printer writing project. In this he wrote a story of his experience with his then soccer coach and accompanied it with illustrations. It was clear then that a budding writer was in the making. A hot bed of talent and creativity Darrell Nicolas Etienne Jr. not only writes books but he is an up and coming songwriter as well. Stay tuned for more to come from this potential laden phenomenon.view less
