Sheri sturniolo
THE AUTHOR
Pediatric Registered Nurse, Author and Mom of two and the real life inspiration for Nurse Nanette. Sheri has worked as a Nurse with kids for over two decades and knows she has the best job in the world! Sheri spent her early years as a Travel Nurse galavanting around the country caring for kids while exploring new and unique cities! She kept going back to one place in particular because she loved it so much and wondered each time she returned, “Is this my home?”. She still lives full-time in this sunny beach destination today with her husband and two kids. See if you can figure out which city Nurse Nanette, I mean Sheri Sturniolo, calls home.
SHAY LARBY
THE ILLUSTRATOR
Shay is an artist and graphic designer in San Diego, she got her start working at Disneyland as a sketch artist, and went on to get her Bachelor’s from California State University. While graphic design is what pays the bills, illustration is what Shay is really passionate about! She has worked with Sheri on two children’s books so far, and relishes in the experience of bringing a story to life through art. This particular story struck a chord since Shay’s mom is also a Nurse, and it worked out to be a great tribute to her and every nurse’s tireless efforts in the healthcare industry!
Kate Woolley
THE DESIGNER
Kate is an award-winning art director with over 15 years of experience in design and advertising. Kate and Sheri met on the Perinatal Special Care Unit (PSCU) floor during their pregnancies with their children. During that time, Kate spent over 40 days in the hospital on bedrest, and an additional 34 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) before being able to bring her babe home. Kate spent a lot of quality time with the nursing staff during that time, so this project holds a special place in her heart. After those experiences, Kate founded The Noble Paperie, and began creating greeting cards to support mothers walking through miscarriage, infertility, and other pregnancy-related issues.
