Evan Parker never planned to be an author — and definitely not a children’s author. His career has been in the world of sports business, with stops at NASCAR, The Athletic, Mantel, and more. But in July 2025, Evan’s daughter was born, and everything changed. Suddenly, his biggest ambition was to create something fun, meaningful, and healthy just for her. That’s how The Super Squashers: Crunch Time in Veggieville was born — a superhero adventure designed to make kids laugh and maybe eat a vegetable or two. What started as a gift for one little girl quickly grew into something friends, family, and lots of kids couldn’t get enough of. So Evan decided to publish it and share The Squashers with the world.
