In 2007, Oprah got a little competition from pint-sized talk show host Daniel Cook. At just 9 years old, this Canadian phenom had his very own show on the Disney channel. When the Oprah Show sent him on special assignment to New York Fashion Week, he worked the red carpet and even got a job offer from Entertainment Tonight host Mary Hart. Product Description. This Is Daniel Cook is a live action pre-school TV series that follows six-year-old Daniel as he explores, learns and creates with everyone from chocolatiers to musicians, and from firefighters to dog trainers.
The show is about a 7 year old boy (7 in the first seasons but age nine in the second season) called Daniel Cook who learns new things and shares his experiences and adventures with other kids. For example, he learns about taekwondo, gymnastics, and animals. He also visits a fire station, a YMCA, and more. The show was filmed in Toronto, Ontario; New Brunswick; Nova Scotia, and Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Every episode is six minutes long, while the half-hour shows consist of five six-minute episodes. The series has been sold by Distribution360 to over eighty-five countries worldwide, and dubbed into fourteen languages[citation needed].
The series has also launched a six-volume book series distributed by Kids Can Press and produced by marblemedia. Five DVDs have also been released featuring episodes from the series.

Melissa McClelland (born 18 May 1979) is an American-born Canadian singer-songwriter who lived in Hamilton, Ontario, in her youth and now bases her career from Toronto, Ontario. McClelland's music is influenced by blues and Americana. A writer on CMJ's staff blog wrote that McClelland has 'a persona reminiscent of a female Tom Waits.'[1]
Biography[edit]
Melissa McClelland was born in Chicago, Illinois. She spent her youth in Burlington, Ontario before developing her career in Toronto, Ontario. McClelland married Luke Doucet on 24 June 2006; the two have played together on numerous stages, including at the 2006 Calgary Folk Music Festival. He has produced three of her records, Stranded in Suburbia, Thumbelina's One Night Stand and Victoria Day.
In 2006 McClelland opened for Matthew Good's solo acoustic tour across Canada. During the tour the two singers closed Matthew Good's set with a duet performance of the Nine Inch Nails song 'Hurt'.[2]
She also works with Sarah McLachlan, providing backing vocals at her live shows. McLachlan makes a guest appearance on the song 'Go Down Matthew' from McClelland's album Thumbelina's One Night Stand.
'Skyway Bridge' (off of Thumbelina's One Night Stand) features Greg Keelor from Blue Rodeo. Additionally, McClelland is the only guest artist on Blue Rodeo's 2008 live album, Blue Road.[3]
In 2007 McClelland opened a tour with Jesse Cook and sang on his recording of 'It Ain't Me Babe' (a Bob Dylan cover) which was released on his 2007 album Frontiers. 'It Ain't Me Babe' was released as a single from that album, which spent 3 weeks in the top position on Billboard's world music charts.[4]
Also in 2007, McClelland's 'Passenger 24' won in The 6th Annual Independent Music Awards for Best Americana Song.[5]
McClelland's song 'Rooftop' was featured on the 2005 soundtrack CD of the television series Degrassi: The Next Generation. The song was played on the ending montage of the 2004 episode 'Time Stands Still Pt. 2', in which a main character, Jimmy Brooks (Aubrey Graham) was shot by a bullied student, Rick Murray (Ephraim Ellis). She also performed the theme song for the children's reality show This Is Daniel Cook. In 2008, she contributed to the soundtrack of the film One Week.[6]

Thumbelina's One Night Stand [edit]
McClelland's follow-up album, Thumbelina's One Night Stand was released in 2006. Reviews drew attention to the eclectic nature of the album. Exclaim! Magazine described the album as 'impossible to pin down stylistically, as it segues from roots-y rock ('Passenger 24') to country ('Taxi Ride') to chamber pop ('Solitary Life') to folk (a cover of Randy Newman's 'Dayton Ohio') and blues ('Go Down Matthew').'[7]
Victoria Day [edit]
In late 2008 Melissa McClelland began work on Victoria Day, her fourth album, and first for Six Shooter Records. Victoria Day was scheduled for release on 14 April 2009. The album was recorded at Canterbury Music by Jeremy Darby, and was produced by Luke Doucet.[8]
Victoria Day has a vintage 1950s sound, combining dixieland with 'high lonesome twang'.[9] 'Seasoned Lovers', from Victoria Day, features vocals from Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith.
Whitehorse [edit]
In 2011 McClelland and her husband Luke Doucet released a self-titled album under the moniker Whitehorse on Six Shooter Records. It included reworked versions of McClelland's hit 'Passenger 24' and Doucet's hit 'Broken' and was recorded at the Catherine North studio in Hamilton, Ontario, Sarah McLachlan's house in Vancouver, British Columbia and a studio located at McLelland's and Doucet's house.[10]
