Short biography: Katie Maskey, the Product Program Communications Manager for Girl Scouts of Western Ohio and a resident of Lambertville, MI, will represent Monroe County in the Mrs. Michigan America competition in May. She is a wife, but her cat-mom status is how she was inspired to write Ferdinand with the Extra Toes. Ferdinand is a real life cat! He’s a polydactyl, meaning, he was born with extra claws on all of his paws. Seeing Ferdinand as a special little cat who was not quite like the others in the house, inspired Katie to write his story to help kids recognize their own unique qualities and how, oftentimes, our differences are our greatest strengths.
