Sheryl Webster

Sheryl is a children’s author from Liverpool, where she lives, not far from the River Mersey, with her husband and four children.
She writes books that are dynamic, witty and heart-warming, and that will inspire and make a difference – by informing and creating awareness of important issues. 
Before becoming a children’s author, she gained a degree in Psychology and English, then taught in elementary/primary schools for several years.
During a career break to have her first child, her first picture book was published. She now has 50+ titles published and translated worldwide. A big highlight for her was having one of her books read out on a UK children’s tv show! Now that her small brood of children are not so small, Sheryl writes full time, and is enjoying writing more than ever!
She finds inspiration for her stories in lots of things, but especially through music, which she feels is the universal language of us all.
Just like a good book, music can be a source of inspiration and expression! 

More about Sheryl and Kindness Rocks®,

In 2020, Sheryl began writing Kindness Rocks®, inspired by the belief that kindness becomes even more powerful when we turn the message into action. Published in 2024, the story of Jonny Heart, a rockstar lion with a big heart, has since grown into something much bigger than a book.
Through Kindness Rocks®, Sheryl has worked with thousands of children, schools, charities and community groups, creating kindness gardens, school projects, community events, fundraising campaigns and the annual Kindness Rocks® Races. Children and young people have been involved in everything from creating kindness messages to supporting local charities and taking part in community projects.
Her annual Rock Your Socks campaign brings people together to wear their favourite socks and donate brand-new pairs to support local people experiencing hardship. The campaign has now collected thousands of pairs of socks for local charities, including Cash for Kids Liverpool and Paper Cup Coffee Liverpool.
Kindness Rocks® has taken Sheryl’s little rockstar lion, Jonny Heart, from the pages of a picture book to Times Square in New York and, more recently, onto the big screens around Liverpool.
For Sheryl, the most exciting part of Kindness Rocks® isn’t what happens on the page – it’s what happens when children take the message into the real world.
She believes that kindness can be contagious – if we turn the message into action.
Music is another huge source of inspiration for Sheryl and often finds its way into her writing and creative projects. She believes that, just like a good book, music can be a powerful source of inspiration, connection and expression.
And she still loves writing more than ever.
