Our Story

Meet The Author
Hi! I'm Rose Sprinkle and I'm the author and founder of The Little Virtues. Little did I know that when I wrote one book, The Little Virtues would grow into a company and life mission. I am passionate about storytelling, learning, and helping families and caregivers connect with children to help them become their best selves. I hope The Little Virtues will build many memories for your family for years to come.


My Motivation

For years I've been fascinated by human relationships, development, and what makes people happy. It is my belief that true joy is found when we grow through struggles and come out better having gone through them. The Little Virtues are written to encourage, inspire, and remind us what it means to be human. By practicing virtues, kids develop the resilience and emotional intelligence necessary to live a good life. Each Little Virtue was written at a time when I was struggling to learn that particular principle.

How The Little Virtues Began
Years ago in high school, I told my mom that one day I was going to write a children's book, so maybe I knew it was always meant to be. Writing these books have continued to be a cathartic and healing experience for me as I constantly grow and fumble through this beautiful mess we call life. I am happy to be joined by a wonderful team of illustrators, educators, and fans who continue to support and extend The Little Virtue's mission to touch children's lives.
