The Magic of Gypsy - Paperback

by Lori Klisman Ellis (Author), Arkettype (Illustrator)

The Magic of Gypsy is a sweet and uplifting story of resilience, kindness, and friendship. Developmentally disabled children discovered unexpected inspiration from a feral cat with physical limitations after he wandered into their school. Despite his own challenges, Gypsy transformed the lives of the students. He became a loving classroom companion and a role model to the students. He was an emotional support cat, a therapist, and a fluffy love-ball. Gypsy was the catalyst needed to ignite remarkable speech and language, occupational therapy, physical therapy, behavioral, and social-emotional growth among the students. In return, the students launched a successful fundraiser to purchase a custom pet wheelchair that gave their beloved Gypsy his own mobility. In the end, everyone gained love, happiness, and success. They learned that a disability did not define who they are.
