Darren Perman

Darren Perman is the author of Wookiwoo, I Love You, a heartwarming children's picture book inspired by a true story from his own life.

Darren grew up in Malibu, California. He was inspired to write this story after he woke up one morning to the sounds of Wookiwoo and his family flying from tree to tree. Darren is married to Ruby Perman and they live in Dana Point, California with their two children, Alanni and Kanoa.

The book captures the essence of unconditional love and the bittersweet beauty of letting go, themes that resonate deeply with children and adults alike. Often compared to The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, Wookiwoo, I Love You has touched the hearts of families across the country.

The original first edition became a Barnes & Noble Selection, and the story's enduring popularity led to the creation of the stunning new Premier Edition hardcover, illustrated by Kristi Petosa-Sigel and published by Island Heritage. This new edition brings Wookiwoo's world to life with vibrant, detailed illustrations that make the story even more magical.

Darren is passionate about the power of storytelling to connect families and teach children about love, friendship, and the importance of saying "I Love You." He hopes that Wookiwoo's story will be read and treasured for generations to come.
