mom of three wonderful (and very feisty!) children, including a strong spunky
daughter who is deaf and uses cochlear implants to hear.When her daughter started questioning why most children's
picture books don't include any deaf/hard of hearing characters like her, Katie
knew she needed to write one. Katie's goal is to increase deaf representation
in children's literature and promote further awareness, inclusion, and
celebration of differences.
