Karissa Winters started writing stories to help her daughter Presley, who is 8 and has autism. Presley, a third grader at West University Elementary School, loves cats, butterflies and unicorns and, thus, the “caticorn” was born. Karissa wrote Your Guide to All Things Caticorn, with a special page that shows the horn changing colors when a caticorn’s emotions change – a guide that has helped Presley learn to better recognize and express emotions. The colorful book, available locally and online, has tools to help those with autism and aims to create awareness about autism. A portion of profits goes to Good Dog! Autism Companions, which trains service dogs.
