About the Author

Ed Rodriguez was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. As a child he visited his grandparents in Puerto Rico and like most children was taken by the island's natural beauty and intrigued by the singing coquí frog. After a family trip with his own children, Ed was inspired to create Kiki Kokí. It is Ed's hope that children all over the world are introduced to the coquí frog through his book and learn to love and protect the coquí and other endangered species. Ed currently lives in California with his wife, Nancy, and their three children, where he works developing toys, art and family entertainment.
