BabySparkle Background

The Baby Sparkles were born in a moon crater. A happy home was made by Mama Moonlight and Papa Starlight for the babies until humans came back to live on the moon. The family had to keep moving every time the humans came too close to their home. Until one day, the machine that is used to mine for moon rocks dug up the family home while they were preparing to move. The family was transported back to earth and ended up in the Appalachian Mountains.

To the human eye, Baby Sparkles look a lot like fireflies with the same light on their tail. However, their tail contains a gem that lights ups in a completely different way. They can use these lights to communicate with spirals that sparkle in the night. Each Baby Sparkle has a set of SparkleGraphs they make along with all the everyday ones that have been taught to them by Mama and Papa. You can look at the individual pages to see which of the favorite SparkleGraphs are shown for each baby sparkle.

There are 7 baby sparkles; one boy (Onyx) and 6 girls. Two of the girls, (Amethyst and Diamond), the youngest ones, are twins. One of the girls, (Pearl), is a cousin.

The babies now live in an old forest on top of a mountain. Take an evening walk in the twilight on a moonlit mountain night. The twinkling lights from fireflies will fill the early evening. If you look closely, you may just see the colors of SparkleGraphs shimmering in the cool mountain air.

About me

About me
My name is Allison and I am a social worker helping special needs children in the Appalachian Mountain region of Tennessee and Virginia. I guess you could call me a hillbilly since we live in the mountains. When I have some spare time, I work on the BabySparkles and their story.

BabySparkle Sparklegraphs

The baby sparkles use their lights differently than the common on-off blinking of the standard firefly.
They sign complex patterns that are called sparklegraphs. These sparkgraphs are examples of their emotions, their names, and the things they like to do.
