A Mother's Love

A mother's love---
Today a mother deer was running back & fourth on shrub rd. Her baby was on the side of the road. Someone hit the baby. I called animal control. I pray that they will try to save her. It looked like 2 legs were broken.
The mother kept coming back.
The mother was very upset,and I was upset for her. I'm glad that I stopped traffic to get her out of the road. Everyone was patient with me. Thank you —

Catherine Gibson grew up in Connecticut with loving and supportive parents who fostered tolerance and acceptance of all others who were somehow different.

She taught dance to pre-school classes through sign language and body movement. The characters in Cathy’s first three books, Through Sophie’s Eyes, Coach Bob and Me and Sophie discovers Synchronized Swimming, are based on both deaf and hearing individuals that she met through her teaching experiences that have touched and inspired her.

The message that Cathy conveys in her thoughtful stories of children with special gifts is that acceptance, encouragement and support of those with life challenges builds the confidence and character that all children need to lead happy and giving lives.Cathy founded the organization, For Children with Love, in order to give back to those who have touched her heart. Profits of each book sale are donated to various children’s charities.

About Catherine Gibson

Catherine Gibson is a Connecticut native who taught children her whole life. Growing up with loving and supportive parents, it allowed her and her younger sister and brother to feel the love of a child’s imagination. Cathy and her siblings were always finding and creating games and exploring new adventures. Having a family of her own and raising 2 sons , she wanted to give back.   She began dancing at a young age and studied under the caring instruction of Miss Helyn Flanagan. Cathy sang on three children’s dance albums and performed in several recitals. She continues to help teach dance to this day.   Cathy is always trying to learn new things. She had always been fascinated with sign language and as her children became older, she decided to take a sign language course. While taking courses, the deaf instructor asked Cathy why she was learning sign language. The instructor asked if she had to learn to communicate with a relative or a friend,new who was deaf. To the instructor surprise, Cathy didn’t. Cathy explained to her that she always thought that signing was beautiful and viewed it as a form of dance, which she wanted to learn.   Through her sign language courses at the American School for the Deaf in West Hartford, Connecticut, Cathy was introduced to their pre-school program. Since the instructor knew of Cathy’s dance background, they asked her if she would be interested in teaching dance to the preschool children. While Cathy taught dance to the deaf children, it brought a lifetime of joy within her heart. She wanted to spread the word that deaf children also loved to dance. The children add a sweet innocence about them and an eagerness to dance. During the dance classes they would dress up in costumes and the children would mimic Cathy’s dance moves. Every time Cathy came to class, the children would welcome her with their warm smiles and big hugs. It was a learning experience for all of them. The deaf children in Cathy’s class gave her the inspiration and foundation to write her stories.
