   About Mark
   
   Imagine if you mixed a little Jim Trelease (author of The New Read Aloud Handbook), the PBS show Reading Rainbow, a bit of folksiness, whimsy and magic, then shook it a bit - out would come Mark Daniel, an exuberant promoter of children's books.

   Mark Daniel is a full-time children's performer, who as a child, developed a love for books that has continued and strengthened through the years.A librarian took an interest in him and his fascination for magic tricks, and helped ignite the spark by broadening his knowledge through reading.
   
   After a few years, he had read every magic book available through the NC Public Library System.That experience helped to influence his decision to choose a unique and satisfying career as a children's entertainer.
   
   Today, as a Reading Ambassador, Mark performs over 250 shows annually for schools, libraries, and festivals throughout the South.He is often invited to conferences as a seminar presenter for children's entertainers on the art of performing for children.
