Sheri Poe-Pape Author Interview

Cassie’s Marvelous Music Lessons is a charming children’s story about a lively puppy and her love of music. Where did the idea for this fun story come from?

I run a music school. My own miniature white Schnauzer, Cassie, gave me the idea by smacking my hands off the piano.

This seems like a very relateable story for anyone that has a pet. Did you put anything from your own life into the story?

Just ideas from my dog, Cassie. I have three sequels based on her that will come out.

The art in the book has an interesting artistic flare. What decisions went into choosing the art direction?

It was all decided by the publishing companies illustrator, Doris Wenzel.

What is the next book that you’re working on and when will it be available?

My first sequel, “Cassie Pup Takes the Cake??” will be out towards fall.
