Welcome to the World of The Food Lady

Inspired by the real birds and woodland animals around Ann Miles Sievers’ home, The Food Lady series brings friendship, kindness, humor, faith, and the everyday adventures of a lively backyard community to young readers and families.

About the Author

Long before The Food Lady became a book, it was a nickname. Ann’s husband, Tom, began calling her “the Food Lady” after joking that the neighborhood deer always seemed to know where to find her. Those real backyard visitors eventually became the inspiration for an entire world of stories.
