Cathy Magrey
Cathy lives in Dublin with her family. Her work in psychology and childhood literacy has shown her that children learn best through action and play.
Her own mum is a coeliac and when her sons started to ask questions, she created this book to help explain what coeliac disease means, and most importantly how they could help keep their Granny safe.
