    «As modern learning and brain science shows, it takes a village to raise a creative child, and Cathy shows how to create this village one story at a time.»

    «Thank you so very much for your wonderful week here! The kids learned a lot about themselves as writers and had a rare opportunity to be purely creative -- a real treat. I am so grateful! It would be great to put our heads together about what could happen next.»

«Thank you for a very inspiring workshop, Cathy. I thoroughly enjoyed our time with you and this is one more proof - if I needed one- that if learning is fun, one learns a lot. I'll bear this in mind while teaching. Looking forward to having more opportunities to be your student...»
