The beginnings


The nights had been cold and dark when Mama Moonlight and Papa Starlight left the Baby Sparkles to sleep. Now, the big blue marble was high in the sky to cast moon shadows everywhere. So, they kept watch for the new wingless creatures who started to appear with the blue marble’s light. Papa could hear the big digger coming closer and closer to their home.

“Mama,” said Papa Starlight, “we need to go get the babies ready to move.”

“Yes Papa.” Mama Moonlight said with a sad look on her face.

Papa and Mama started to gather all the Baby Sparkles’ clothes and food. Papa quietly started with the clothes and Mama went to the kitchen. But just as Mama gathered up the last bit of food, the room turned upside down and everything splattered on the floor. The whole house was moving. Mama grabbed the babies and held on. Where were they going?

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.
