From solar eclipses to shooting stars, these world myths and legends reflect and expand our wonderings about the sun, moon and stars.
You Don’t Know Jack!
Jack is always seeking his fortune…but what will he meet up with this time? A giant? A ghost? Sherry’s fresh versions of these Appalachian tales reintroduce you to Jack!
Around the World and Back Again
Explore the world through these beautifully crafted and respectfully told folktale adaptations from a wide variety of cultures!
Boo-Tickle Tales

Moral of the Story
There are lessons to be learned in every story – and these tales, told with humor and fun, get the message across in non-didactic but effective ways!
Why, why, why?
From the beginning of time, people have asked “Why?” and “How?” Sherry’s vibrant retellings of global pourquoi tales explore the imagined origins of our world and its inhabitants.
