SHERIBABY PRAISE
What People Are Saying!
"A riveting tale of a classic Caribbean upbringing. Sharon beautifully confronts the intricate nature of a Caribbean childhood driven by values for which we are often most grateful, but also replete with an often-hidden trauma that we must all eventually overcome. Thank you, Sharon, for sharing the Sheribaby in all of us."
- Frederick Morton Jr., Esq.,
Founder TempoTV
"Sheribaby is a vibrant and unfiltered story capturing the complexities of class, politics and culture through the keen eyes of a little girl wise beyond her years. Sharon Gordon masterfully weaves history, humor, and heart into a narrative that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. With its rich storytelling and unapologetic authenticity, this is a book that doesn’t just tell a story—it immerses you in a time, a place, and a feeling that lingers long after the final page.!"
- Melissa Noel
"Sheribaby is everyone’s story. She represents the little girl that was in all of us… curious about the adult world while trying to keep our childhood. Thank you Sharon Gordon for bringing her life! Thank you!"
- Dr. Sophia Lubin, OB/GYN
