About the Live, In-Person, Adventure
“”A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” – Agatha Christie
And that is exactly what Maria did for her seven children, including little Danny, who dreamed big things and then, against all odds, achieved them. In his beautiful and transformative memoir, Maria’s Scarf, Zoro the internationally renowned drummer, tells the incredible story of how his mother’s love, and their family’s unbreakable bond, helped a starry-eyed boy never lose sight of his dreams.
