In 1992 "There Were Monkeys in My Kitchen" won the Canadian Children's Book Centre's Mr. Christie's Book Award for a book for children eight years and under. Her 1995 book "Mabel Murple" won the Ann Connor Brimer Award, and in 2000 she was awarded the Vicky Metcalf Award for Literature for Young People, which is presented to a Canadian author for a "body of work (at least four books) that, in the opinion of the judges, demonstrates the highest literary standards". "If You Could Wear My Sneakers: A Book about Children's Rights", which was published in 1998, was commissioned by UNICEF. Its 15 poems are based on some of the articles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, including the rights to education, privacy, free speech and protection from war. Canadian journalist and broadcaster Peter Gzowski wrote the foreword for the book, which won the Ontario Library Association's Silver Birch Award and the Atlantic Canadian Hackmatack Children's Choice Award. In the 2000s Sheree Fitch continued to publish books for young children, including her first board book, "Kisses Kisses Baby-O", which was presented to the families of all babies born in Nova Scotia in 2008 as part of a family literacy program. She also expanded her range to the young adult fiction audience with her 2002 novel "One More Step", followed by "The Gravesavers" in 2005. In addition to poetry and novels, Sheree Fitch has written two non-fiction books for children who are aspiring writers: "Breathe, Stretch, Write: Learning to Write with Everything You've Got", and "Writing Maniac: How I Grew up to be a Writer (And You Can Too)". In 1993 Sheree Fitch's book of poetry for adults, "In This House are Many Women", was published. It deals with serious issues in the lives of working-class women. The title refers to a sequence of poems set in a shelter for women escaping domestic violence. The author identifies strongly with the women in her poems, who are presented as survivors. Like her work for children, the adult poems play with words, but the material is darker, as in "Civil Servant", in which a receptionist in an unemployment office imagines herself as Saint Peter at the Pearly gates, asking her clients "Can I have your sin?" (i.e. Social Insurance Number). An expanded edition of "In This House are Many Women" was published in 2004.
