Where Animals Come From

“Grammy, we were catching worms at school today! Why do they eat dirt?”

My on the fly response, “Well, worms eat dirt because someone has to.”

My four year-old grand girl then related a story of her preschool teachers instructing them about animals. “Grammy, did you know God made beautiful animals and things? God made zebras, elephants, and even lions. But…not cows…or sheep…or pigs. I guess farmers made those.”

Sounds like some pages and illustrations were missing from that animal book at school!

I’m E.V. Sparrow

Coffee imbiber, chocolate connoisseur (sugar free please, so I don’t have to give it up), and the studier of personalities. My current book series of 3 is historical fiction inspired by my quirky great grandfather on my dad’s side of the family tree. On October 27, 2024, The BookFest Awards bestowed First Place in General Historical Fiction upon it! Stunningly unexpected.

Book 2 focuses on his sister’s life, and Book 3 reveals some of his son’s life.

According to many rumors, authors never stop learning. I’m studying and reading cozy mysteries for future projects. I’ve convinced myself I’ve adjusted to the black hole of writing and the author’s life. Why not add more challenges? What could happen?

Glad you’ve visited my site, and hope you’re intrigued enough for us to connect further on social media.
