The Lunch Order

Today is a special day! I am having a yummy hot lunch order and a sparkling red drink too. I told my friends about it.

This is my first ever lunch from the school canteen! I can hardly wait for lunchtime. I hope Miss Jones will let me take the lunch basket to the canteen.

This special day is turning out to be kind of strange and my teacher looks kind of funny. Where is my yummy hot lunch order and sparkling red drink?

What has happened to my teacher, Miss Jones?

Sharee Hayley-Xerri lives in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, near Sydney, Australia. She and her husband and two children enjoy walking in the Aussie forests. A primary school teacher, she loves travelling, painting, reading and all types of animals, birds and critters, even spiders. She also has a dog named Buddy.

Where does that name come from and how do you say it, you might ask? The name Xerri came with her husband from the Mediterranean island of Malta. Xerri is pronounced ‘Sherry.’ “Oh! So you’re Sharee Sherry!” Yes! That’s it. Sharee Hayley-Xerri.
