Sheri is one of the judges for Canada's portion of the 2013 Toyota Dream Car Art Contest. The contest, open to kids under the age of 15, encourages children to express their imagination by doing a drawing of their dream car. There's no limit to how imaginative or colourful the drawings can be. Local prizes include tablet devices, and the grand prize for the worldwide contest is a trip to Japan to attend the awards ceremony.

Sheri has a rhyming picture book coming out with Top That Publishing in July 2013. Be on the lookout for It's Following Me! This charming tale tells of a kitty who is puzzled by the mysterious thing that follows her wherever she goes.

Sheri signed a contract with Simply Read Books for an illustrated twisted fairy tale that will be published in 2013 or 2014.

Check out this interview with Sheri conducted by the Book Broads back in 2009.

Sheri wrote a segment of an episode of Roll Play, which is broadcast on Treehouse TV and SRC (Société Radio-Canada).

This short profile of Sheri appeared on the Scholastic website.

Victoria newscasters mentioned Sheri's first book, Penelope and the Humongous Burp, on the air and even read part of it out loud.
