[LM_NET] searching for an author

[Carol Kolenet <ckolenet@HOTMAIL.COM>]

I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. I received the following from a 
school administrator and am having no luck finding the answer. 
"I recently heard from a member of our community that CNN on or about the third 
weekend in July presented a piece on their television show about an author whose 
last name is Hansen or Hanson.  The author writes children’s books.  The author is 
both deaf and blind."
Did anyone see this or know who the author is? Any help would be greatly 
appreciated!
