Sheryl Hare
Sheryl Hare - Writer
Sheryl's stories are inspired by the animals on her hobby farm in Keremeos, BC. As a child, Sheryl loved to listen to mother goose. As a result all of her stories come to her as rhymes. A mother of two girls, Sheryl reads to her children daily. It is important to her that her stories are fun to read because she knows they will be read over and over by parents.

Sheryl's favorite part of book making is the art work. Imagining what the characters look like and bringing them to life completes the story.
