by Dache, Marques, Ericka, and Dartavius of Reach Incorporated

Sherbert is a little sherbet with big problems: he has serious anger management issues, and whenever he gets mad he starts to melt. His friends are getting tired of dealing with his tantrums, and the other treats in the candy shop are worried that his melting will attract unwanted attention from the store’s owner. When Sherbert’s best friend leaves him to fend for himself, he will have to learn how to deal with his anger issues on his own – before he melts away!

Meet the Authors

As reading tutors to elementary-aged students, the teens of Reach noticed that few children's books reflected their lived experience as youth of color. So they decided to take action and write their own. Now these D.C. teens are diversifying children's literature, one smart-fun-real-brave-bold story at a time.

Featured

Dache

Dache is from Washington, DC and was a junior at Mckinley Tech High School when she authored her book. She loves sherbet, which was an inspiration to come up with the main character, Sherbert. Writing this book was a way for her to bring all of her favorite treats to life while also making a connection to her real life troubles with anger.

Dartavius

Dartavius is a student at Dunbar High School. His dream is to become an actor. Critics have called him a beautifully talented illustrator. He was a sophomore when he wrote his first children's book, Drip Drip: The Story of the Angry Sherbet, which he has read too many times. He is also the author of Madison, Sit Down!

Ericka

Ericka is from Washington, DC and currently lives in the SE area. She was a senior at Ballou Senior High School when she authored her book. She loves to write, which was the main reason she decided to help write this story. This is her first book, and she dreams to one day write her own book and be a wonderful lawyer. Creating the plot of the story was fun for her to be able to explore the world of not people or animals but sweet treats.

Marques

Marques was student at Ballou Senior High School when he authored his books. He is originally from Detroit. He will eat sherbet more than ice cream any day. He likes to read, draw, play games, and play chess. Marques is also a co-author of A to Z: The Real DC. He wrote that book to get kids to know about their city and hopefully to get them to go out and explore. He has had a lot of fun writing books and hopes to continue.
