Meet the author
Author Dave W. Ball creates Hiccups books for families who want storytime to feel playful and useful. The books use rhyme, bold illustrations, and repeatable activities so young children can practice ideas with a grown-up beside them.
Mission
The mission is to help families teach safety, confidence, kindness, curiosity, emotional growth, early learning, and screen-free fun through character-led books and activities.
What makes PRKB different
The Hiccups give the catalog continuity. Instead of disconnected books, families meet recurring characters who guide seek-and-find games, safety conversations, affirmations, holidays, and learning through play.
Why rhyme and play matter
Rhyme supports memory and read-aloud rhythm. Play gives preschoolers a reason to participate. Together, they turn books into conversations children can revisit.
