Peter and the Whimper-Whineys by Sherrill S Cannon is a Bronze Winner in the 2011 Reader's Favorite Awards. It has also been awarded a 2011 USA Best Books Finalist Award. It is a way for parents to cope with whining children, disguised as a fun story!

Review: "Peter and the Whimper-Whineys" is a versed, color illustrated children's story about a very unpopular small rabbit named Peter who only knows how to whine. Because Peter's mother tires of his whining, she warns him about going to live with the Whimper-Whineys, a rude group of unpleasant beings. So peter dreams of going deep into the dark woods to find these Whimper-Whineys and see just what is so disagreeable about them. His ensuing adventures reflect back to him just how unpleasant and sour the effect of whimpering and whining can be on all who are around it. Eventually, Peter finds his way back to his own little bed, awakening to a golden, sunshine-filled day. Do you think Peter has learned his lesson? "Peter and the Whimper-Whineys" is a wonderful fable for harassed parents of fretful toddlers who only need a tweak and a joke to turn their frowns upside down. - Midwest Book Review

Santa's Birthday Gift by Sherrill S. Cannon has received a 2011 National Indie Finalist Award, and is a Silver Winner in the 2011 Reader's Favorite Award.

Review: "Santa's Birthday Gift" is a charming children's Christmas book that explains origins of Santa's role in connection with the birth of the Christ child. "Santa's Birthday Gift" is beautifully written in a gentle versed narrative and illuminated with starlit illustrations of the Nativity including the jolly angel-elf in red known as Santa. Written in answer to a child's question about the traditional Nativity, "But where is Santa?", "Santa's Birthday Gift" is the perfect explanation of mysterious Christmas customs and traditions for young children. "Santa's Birthday Gift" will enchant inquisitive children of all ages. - Midwest Book Review

The Magic Word by Sherrill S Cannon has received a 2011 NABE Pinnacle Achievement Award, is a Global eBook Award Finalist, and is also a Gold Winner in the 2011 Reader's Favorites Award.[bookcover:The Magic Word|11330760.

Review: "The Magic Word" is a versed tale about a rude little girl named Elizabeth Keys, who never said "please." Sharing, taking turns, cooperating in play, these were not for Elizabeth. But when her mother suggests they plan a birthday party, with invitations, how many friends would come to Elizabeth's party? After a few tears and some disappointment, Elizabeth learns about the magic word, "please," from her wise mother. Changing her manners is not always easy, but Elizabeth tries. She discovers the Golden Rule is good for me and you. Brightly illustrated and jauntily presented, "The Magic Word" is a clever presentation of a wise lesson for children 5 and up. – Midwest Book Review
