As a Special Education Teacher, Kate Gibson works with young adults with Down Syndrome and other neurodiversities. As an advocate for inclusive practices, Kate noticed that neurodiverse individuals are often underrepresented in the stories her students read. She set out to create a story celebrating the qualities her students exude and the gifts they offer the world. She hopes that families and schools will read her story and promote an increased awareness and inclusion of individuals with special needs. Kate lives at home in Toronto with her family and two dogs.
