Books with author Steve Mark

The Emmy and Grammy Award–winner’s candid, spectacularly amusing memoir of his years in stand-up. Nominated for the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album!In the mid-seventies, Steve Martin exploded onto the comedy scene. By 1978 he was the biggest concert draw in the history of stand-up. In 1981 he quit forever. Born Standing Up is, in his own words, the story of "why I did stand-up and why I walked away." At age ten Martin started his career at Disneyland, selling guidebooks in the newly opened theme park. In the decade that followed, he worked in the Disney magic shop and the Bird Cage Theatre at Knott's Berry Farm, performing his first magic/comedy act a dozen times a week. The story of these years, during which he practiced and honed his craft, is moving and revelatory. Martin illuminates the sacrifice, discipline and originality that made him an icon and informs his work to this day. To be this good, to perform so frequently, was isolating and lonely. It took Martin decades to reconnect with his parents and sister, and he tells that story with great tenderness. Martin also paints a portrait of his times: the era of free love and protests against the war in Vietnam, the heady irreverence of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in the late sixties, and the transformative new voice of Saturday Night Live in the seventies.

Daisy Goes to the Races is the first book in my series of author-illustrated, Daisy Starshine middle grade/chapter books. Daisy, a young, orphaned, and disabled donkey, often dreams of becoming a unicorn as her way of coping with her self-perceived inadequacies. She loves that her eight-year-old best friend, Clarissa, has created a glittery silver horn for her to wear. But when Daisy starts working at a local race track, she is crushed that the other animals and grounds workers tease her for it. She’s even more hurt when the race horses she admires reject her because of her small stature and the leg brace she wears. When an angry employee sets fire to the stables that house her and the other animals, Daisy discovers a strength she didn’t know she had, saves the day, and finally discovers the happiness that comes from accepting herself as she is.As a father, grandparent, and clinical psychologist, Mark Stevens has helped numerous children overcome the issues Daisy struggles with. Drawing from this experience, he writes about human (or animal) nature and transformation that occurs in the midst of life’s difficulties in a way that is accessible to kids. His hope is that these these stories will encourage children as they face their own struggles, discover their own unique gifts and strengths, and come to fully accept themselves for the shining stars they are.
