Our energetic and stimulating presentations expand children’s imaginations with whimsy and wonder from the depths of the ocean to the heights of the galaxy, and always include awesome giveaways, prizes, and a book signing experience.
We’ve spoken to over 50,000 students throughout the United States so far and visited over 350 schools. Our shows correspond to different age groups, and we often do multiple shows per day so that every child in the school has a chance to experience the magic.
Grades TK-K can enjoy a show centered on the educational books Counting Sea Life with the Little Seahorse and Exploring the Garden with the Little Rose. Grades K-3 will love our shows focused on Sheri’s #1 best-selling The Little Series books, which promote social-emotional learning: personal empowerment, anti-bullying, and self-esteem building.
K-3 students can also hear about Derek’s space adventure Simon and the Solar System or experience a bilingual presentation of El Perro con Sombrero and Doggy Claus/Perro Noel.
For grades 3-6, Derek offers interactive, choose-your-adventure slideshows based on his popular series Scary School and his brand new humorous S.T.E.A.M. chapter book, Principal Mikey.
Sheri and Derek can also tie in their visit with your school’s fundraising initiatives.

"I simply have to rave about Sheri. I was totally blown away with her speech at the South Bay Women's Conference in May... so needless to say I was thrilled when at Sheri was so gracious to come and speak to the girl's at Crown Jewel Club's 10 year anniversary "Yearend Party". We had almost 100 graduate attend from grades 5th up to sophomores in college. At one point I looked around and Sheri had EVERYONE'S total attention. No wonder Sheri is a global speaker. She can captivate 60 10-yearolds, full of cake, pizza, dancing, excitement of a photo booth, make-up artists and games.

"Sheri Fink's presentation on May 7 was very inspirational and motivational. Many students were discussing the books they planned to write after hearing her speak. Not only did she inspire the students to write but to reflect on their interactions with others. Her book Little Rose sends a clear message about the importance of finding your place in the world and surrounding yourself with peers that make you a better person. I am sure that the students of Emerald Hill Elementary are hoping she will visit again and share her books." ~ Renee Wootten, Principal of Emerald Hill Elementary School
