Sheree Lynn Fitch, O.C.
River John, Nova Scotia

Sheree Fitch’s work is a testament to the power and joy that can be found in the spoken and written word. This storyteller, writer and poet has a unique ability to grasp and reflect the range of human emotion. She has captivated generations of young readers, though all with a youthful spirit revel in her singular ‘lipslipperiness.’ She is also a passionate advocate for literacy, and Canadian literature and writers.
