Set during a period when she was becoming more aware of her surroundings, the book gathers moments that stayed with her, with detailed illustrations based on those recollections. Its South American tributaries setting is signaled by the title, while the description emphasizes the experience of repeatedly starting anew and learning to appreciate family journeys.

Book overview

For all my childhood, I lived a nomadic lifestyle with my family. By the age of 15, I had changed schools ten times. Adventures of Sher is based on a period during my childhood. This story will take you on a journey through my perspective when I started to become aware of my surroundings and have an appreciation for the adventures my parents took me and my sister on. Almost every year, the anticipation of starting anew came with much excitement. My recollection is mostly based on periods that truly ignited my soul. The detailed illustrations for this story are based on the moments that stood out to me in that time of my life.
