About the Author

Todd Cardin is a children’s author, playwright, songwriter, and sketch comedy writer who somehow juggles rhyming safari tales and high-octane stage shows without spilling his coffee. He’s the founder of ETC Theater and the creative force behind over 30 plays, countless sketches, and one very chaotic sleepover story starring a rhino and a soda.

When he’s not writing or directing, Todd enjoys pretending to know what he’s doing, chasing ideas, and occasionally chasing grandchildren. He also has a television series in development titled *Late Hit”— a comedy-driven musical drama and is part of Todd’s growing body of work beyond the stage and page.
