About
I am a mother of four and a grandmother of ten. I have written eleven published rhymed children’s stories and two poetry books which have won 90 awards. Peter and the Whimper-Whineys, The Magic Word, Santa's Birthday Gift, Gimme-Jimmy. Manner-Man, My Fingerpaint Masterpiece, Mice & Spiders & Webs...Oh My!. The Golden Rule, My Little Angel, A Penny for Your Thougts, A Dime is a Sign, David's ADHD and Peter and the Whimper-Whineys Coloring Book which has just been released. I also have written seven published and internationally performed musical plays for elementary school children. I love to write. My friends and family ask me if I think in rhyme and meter, and I have to admit that sometimes this is true! A former teacher, all of my books are in rhyme and all try to teach something like good manners and caring for others. I have had a varied career. I grew up in the Willard Hotel in Washington DC (my Dad was the manager) and lived in the DC area where I was a teacher and coach for ten years; and then became a professional newspaper sports photographer and columnist for several years. Later, I became a Dinner Theatre Company Stage Manager, and finally became a Business Administrator. My husband and celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary in June! We are now retired, and we travel in our RV from the east coast to the west coast each year to spend time with our children and grandchildren... sharing my books along the way!

Story Behind The Book
The subliminal message is that people shouldn’t be influenced by what others see, but use their own self-esteem to make their own judgments. (Have you ever seen a “work of art” worth millions, that looks like something your kindergartener just brought home from school?)
Reviews
<p>Sherrill S. Cannon’s newest release is another Masterpiece. Known for the charming rhyming verse in her previous books that have helped children learn the importance of good manners, “My Fingerpaint Masterpiece” is another great book with a new twist. Readers will still enjoy her lively rhyming style and the beautiful illustrations by Kalpart, but children will learn about using their talents. </p>
<p>In this tale, what begins as an uncompleted art project turns into a Masterpiece, when adults try to find hidden meaning in the child’s smeared paint. Though the child created a beautiful piece of art, it was unintentional, and he can’t believe the judges of the art contest that he accidently entered are trying so hard to analyze his painting. When the child tries to tell everyone there’s been a big mistake, no one takes him seriously.</p>
<p>A delightful story from start to finish, this will be another bedtime favorite for young children...</p>
