Pre-ordered! Ever since I read your essay about that baseball game, it has been on my heart to start something similar in my community. My husband is on the board of our local baseball association and we are committed to putting it together for this spring! Thank you for sharing your life with all of us!
Happily preordered before I even finished the essay. Thanks for sharing your gift with us and giving us a tangible way to support your work and your family.
"It was a grace that these young kids were able to pivot and get special permission to turn the slide on; that doesn’t always happen." Sometimes God shows his grace toward us through the mercy of others. Love the article. Would love your permission to post as a guest article at: www.thegiftofwords.com
Thank you for writing this book that is so needed in our world. Just preordered. Your essays are such a gift to me. They make me feel less alone as I navigate parenting my own child with autism.
This is so beautiful and my tears were just pouring out reading this. You are doing important, godly work in how you are raising your kids and by sharing it with others! What a gift. Can’t wait to read your book to my kids!
It is an honor to preorder your book Katie! I have a student with Autism who is on a special baseball team, and I can’t wait to read this book to my third grade class and my own children! Blessings to you!
I, too, have been the mama at the bottom of “the special pool slide” after hours of ABA and incentives for “first this, then…[insert special pool slide equivalent for the moment”].
I, too, know just how hard AND how important this precious work of parenting is ❤️ Thank you, Katie, for sharing your story so honestly and beautifully.
I can’t wait to read your latest book to our kids! ⚾️
When the lifeguard came and said that they could turn on the waterslide... Oh I felt palpable relief for you and Cannon and got tears in my eyes. You have opened my heart and mind to supporting those with kids with disabilities and you're writing helps me to understand and have compassion. Congrats on the kids book!! What an opportunity!
I love all your writing Katie. You have such a talent and I’m grateful you are using it to share your experiences. I am preordering right now! I can’t wait to read it and share it with others.
Tears filled my eyes reading this. The story of the water slide gives me so much hope for the future generation.
And congratulations on the book! I’m so excited to read it.
Thank you, Amber! ❤️
Preordered ♥️ I always love to read anything you write… and I admire you… you are the best mom for Cannon…
Katie, Katie, Katie!!!! You're changing the conversation on Autism-you're changing the world. Bless you my friend!
This is maybe one of the most encouraging things anyone has ever told me. Tears in my eyes. Thank you, Sarah!
