She graduated from the University of Victoria in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Creative Writing. She lives with her husband and three cats in Vancouver. A freelance writer, she is also the editor of the visitor magazine WHERE Vancouver.
Sheri can't remember a time in her life when she wasn't writing: stories, poems, plays, articles, essays. She started writing stories for children after reading at least a zillion picture books out loud to her younger siblings.

Sheri is currently hard at work on the next Penelope book. Seven books in total are planned for the series. This short profile of Sheri appeared on the Scholastic website.
