Meet Sheri Sanderson

The author and illustrator behind Billy Monkey Stays Up All Night.

Meet the author

A lifetime of helping.
A love of storytelling.

Sheri L. Sanderson is a licensed professional counselor, author, and speaker based in Richmond, Texas. Her work with children, adults, and couples draws on more than three decades of helping others.

Before counseling, Sheri served in the U.S. Army, taught children with special needs, and ran a business. Those experiences shaped her belief in helping people feel understood.

Writing and creating for families grew from that same calling. Her children’s stories give families a gentle way to share big feelings, everyday moments, and a little imagination.
