About the Author




Author Cody Byrd is seven years old. He and his sister were adopted by his great-grandparents. When they went shopping, his sister always wanted toys, but Cody always came home with a journal. He was five years old when he first became interested in writing; even though he could barely write his own name, he would always imagine writing like a grownup.


One day, Cody came home from his elementary school, Fairhope Elementary School in Fairhope, Alabama, and told his mother that he was going to write a book about the adventures of the Frog and the Snail. When he was finished, he gave copies to his teachers and made them t-shirts too. Soon, word spread to the assistant principal who was very surprised that a seven-year-old second grader could write. He and the other teachers wanted to share Cody's story. With his family's help, Cody was able to become a published author. He hopes readers will be able to imagine a little boy talking about his friends, the Frog and the Snail.
