Meet the Critters of Tommy Creek

Chippy

He’s a chipmunk, sometimes referred to as a “small red squirrel”. With a HUGE personality he is the unofficial mayor of Tommy Creek. Tommy Creek is in the high mountains of Southern Utah. He often welcomes visitors to come and sit under the shade of the Pondarosa Pines to tell stories about the happenings around the creek and meadow he calls home.

Mama

She is also a chipmunk, who is married to Chippy. She loves to entertain visitors with her fresh baked treats and Dandelion tea. Taking care of Chippy and all the mischief he gets into keeps her pretty busy.

Margarita

She can be found zipping in and out of wildflowers or taking a moment to sip fresh nectar. She’s a beautiful hummingbird living in Mexico during the winter but spending her summers in the Utah mountains. On a wild whim she will find herself on an adventure to other mountain peaks.

Visitor

This is you! These stories take you right into the storybook. You’re the one that comes up to the mountain to visit Chippy and all his forest friends. Mama makes her treats and serves you her special tea.
