The Adventures of Dumdum is Cheri's very first published book. The inspiration for the story began on the family farm, Coldstream Icelandic Sheep Farm-a beautiful place filled with wildflower meadows. Even with six Icelandic sheep, something felt missing: the farm needed chickens.
At the time, the author knew very little about chickens except that they were beautiful and laid eggs. Everything changed after falling in love with a small Polish flock at 4D and bringing them home that very same day. That evening, it quickly became clear how special little Dumdum was. When it was time to close the coop, Dumdum was perched on the roof instead of safely inside. The author's son had to stand on a chair in the rain to carefully lift her off the roof and hand her down. While drying her off, the author affectionately remarked that she was such a little Dumdum and reminded her that she needed to roost inside the coop-especially in the rain.
That moment was only the first of many adventures. Followers of the farm's Facebook page delighted in reading about Dumdum's antics and eventually encouraged the author to turn the stories into a book. Writing Dumdum's story brought plenty of laughter, and the author believes it is a charming tale for children and grown-ups alike. After all, laughter is good for the heart and soul.
