Kylie O'Brien Hall

Kylie O’Brien Hall is an Elementary School Teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area. During her first year of teaching, she decided that her students needed a classroom pet, but preferably a pet that wouldn’t leave her any “special surprises” to clean up. Her solution: a loveable stuffed animal named Ribbit the Frog. From the very first day, Ribbit magically came to life. The students delighted in hearing about his imaginary adventures, which inspired Kylie to put them in writing. Now children everywhere can enjoy reading about Ribbit’s adventures in an imaginary world where animals can talk and even the least-likely of frogs can be a hero.
