Grumpy The Gator (Guest Post by Melissa Henderson)

I am happy to share that my newest book for children is available. “Grumpy the Gator” shares the story of friends staying safe when they see an alligator in a neighborhood pond. God created the alligators. God’s creations are amazing and there are many ways to learn about gators.

In this story, the friends tell their parents about seeing the alligator. Safety is important around gators and all animals. We should never approach an alligator.

Moving from Virginia to South Carolina, my husband and I have learned about all different kinds of wildlife. From lizards to snakes to coyotes to alligators and more, there are new adventures everyday.

The Lowcountry of South Carolina has many areas of water. Large lakes, the ocean and small neighborhood ponds. Alligators are often seen sunning themselves on the banks of the ponds. Although the gators may seem to be asleep, they can move quickly when needed.

When we take a walk in our neighborhood, we are always on the lookout for alligators. When we see a gator, we don’t go near. Safety first.

I love how God gives us the opportunity to learn about His creations. Each moment is filled with possibilities and wonder. God created glorious blessings for us to enjoy. 

Have you enjoyed a walk outside lately? Have you peered out of the window and enjoyed His creations? Share with us.

Blessings,
Melissa Henderson aka Mimi
