About the Author:

Phil Hall is an elementary school principal who realized during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic that young people need to learn the value of prosocial behavior—acting in ways that benefit others—more than anything. That is when he wrote the first draft of The Day the Children Saved the World, hoping he could spread his message to kids everywhere. Phil lives in Rutland, Vermont, with his fiancée, Alice. Between the two of them, they have four young boys—Jackson, Lincoln, Harrison, and LJ—and two dogs. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family, fishing, and playing with his kids.
