Can't Catch Calico Elliott Carlson

Can't Catch Calico is a richly illustrated southern tale geared towards kids with physical, cognitive or emotional disabilities. In this first episode, our protagonist finds himself in a pretty serious pickle. But in the chapters to come, we see Calico not only accept his new, unique set of circumstances as part of what makes him special but start to use his coyote wit, charm and "dogged" perseverance to overcome the obstacles that life on the farm (and The Cottonwoods) throw at him. It is our hope that children will be inspired by the story to create their own ways of overcoming life's challenges and ultimately understand that what makes us different, makes us special.
