Years ago, she envisioned a girl character who found her way through any insecurities and became her own hero.
She is excited to share this “adorkable” girl and her experiences with young readers in her first book, Dorkle’s Day at School.
The Inspiration Behind Dorkle
Years ago, she dreamed of creating a character that embodies resilience and self-acceptance—a girl who navigates her insecurities to become her own hero. This vision blossomed into Dorkle, a lovable character whose journey resonates with young readers, encouraging them in a fun way to embrace their quirks to help them through life.
The seeds of Dorkle's character were sown in a sketch back in 2008. Sherri's creative journey took a magical turn when she collaborated with the incredibly talented illustrator Maru Salem-Vargas, who brought Dorkle's vision to life through enchanting illustrations.
A Heartfelt Message
Sherri is thrilled to introduce Dorkle and her adventures in her debut book, Dorkle's Day at School. The story is not just a narrative but a heartfelt message of love, friendship, and individuality.
