Cathie has always loved good stories. It was her delight growing up to hear her Mother, the daughter of Polish immigrants, tell her the fascinating stories of her own parents travels through Ellis Island and of their life during World War II and the Great Depression. Bringing her love of stories full circle, she and her husband Mike spent countless hours sharing stories and books with their four daughters. The family stories grew through many delightful years filled with camping, hiking, mountain excursions, and dinners around the table. Table time was always filled with talk of art or music, stargazing and, of course, great books. Mike and Cathie continue these traditions with family… members and friends from their home in Kansas. The story of George is the fulfillment of Cathie's life-long dream to create adventures for young minds and old, combining original artwork and timeless lessons.
