"I'm so excited to announce the publishing of The Little Gnome and to share its message of looking for the good in change," says the author. "An early reader is a lifelong reader and I'm honored to write books that inspire and delight children while planting seeds of self-esteem."

Sheri Fink created "The Whimsical World of Sheri Fink" brand to support this mission. The brand encompasses her children's books and plays. Her books have been called beautiful, enthralling, empowering, and fun.
