My Big News

It was news day at school. All my classmates had amazing news. I was feeling excited waiting for my turn. But then, as I heard what they had to say, I started to feel sad. That is, until... A story about being true to yourself, however unimportant you may feel.

Sharee Hayley-Xerri

Sharee Hayley-Xerri lives in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, near Sydney, Australia. She and her husband and two children enjoy walking in the Aussie forests. A primary school teacher, she loves travelling, painting, reading and all types of animals, birds and critters, even spiders. She also has a dog named Buddy. Where does that name come from and how do you say it, you might ask? The name Xerri came with her husband from the Mediterranean island of Malta. Xerri is pronounced ‘Sherry.’ “Oh! so you’re Sharee Sherry!” Yes! That’s it. Sharee Hayley-Xerri.
