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. |
