The words that I live by are to "Say it Forward" and "Speak Life wherever you go!" My books were written to inspire change in a lost, lonely, and hurting world. Middle School is such a challenging time. I wrote these books to uplift and encourage kids ahead of the game, before their teenage years begin, and help them build a healthy self-love and confidence in themselves and one another. 4- to 8-year-olds especially love the books, but younger
and older enjoy them too!

Coaching a team is a big job! Coach Gracie has been asked to take this less than lively group of middle schoolers to the big leagues. Most of the kids on the team don't want to play. They need help and they'll get it from Coach Gracie, a little but mighty pug dog. She will instill confidence, teach how to love without conditions, and speak life into them. They may start out losing, but when they begin to work together as a team, their skills improve, the number of games they win goes up, and Coach Gracie's dream of winning a state championship may come true!
P.S. Gracie is Sherry's adorable pug in real life!

The "I Have a Dream Team" Book Series addresses the culture that we live in and all the things that come with being a kid in today's "social pressure" world. While the team is made up of typical middle school-aged kids who want to fit in and are trying to adjust to life as preteens, the difference is who's teaching and coaching them. Not a human, but a dog. Coach Gracie will lead the team and teach how to love themselves and one another unconditionally, the way our dogs love.
