Lil' Marco is the beloved original children's book character from the award-winning Lil' Marco & Friends series, created by author and literacy advocate Sharon Jones-Scaife. Designed to inspire confidence, kindness, imagination, and a love of reading, Lil' Marco comes to life through interactive character experiences that engage children of all ages. Whether visiting a school, library, festival, birthday celebration, or community event, Lil' Marco creates joyful moments that encourage children to dream big, believe in themselves, and discover the magic of books.
Performance space should be clean, dry, and free of hazards. Indoor, outdoor, and covered venues are welcome. If outdoors, shaded areas are preferred during warm weather.
Lil' Marco requires approximately 15–20 minutes before the appearance to prepare privately. A clean, private changing area is appreciated when available. A sound system is helpful for larger audiences but is not required for most appearances.
