At The Little Virtues, we believe life's biggest lessons are learned through little moments.
Through imaginative stories, meaningful play, and everyday connection, we help families explore emotional skills and important virtues like kindness, courage, honesty, patience, and self-worth.
Our mission is to make character development joyful, approachable, and something families can experience together.
Hi, I'm Rose Sprinkle!
I'm an award-winning children's author, educational creator, and founder of The Little Virtues.
My journey began with a deeply personal experience. After losing my best friend, I turned to storytelling as a way to process grief, find hope, and explore the qualities that help us navigate life's challenges.
Through that experience, I came to appreciate just how important virtues like love, patience, courage, and resilience are—and how meaningful it would be to introduce these lessons to children early in life.
That's how The Little Virtues began.
What started as a collection of children's stories has grown into a world of lovable characters, imaginative activities, emotional-learning tools, and educational resources that help families bring these lessons into everyday life.
With 18 years of experience in design and curriculum development, including seven years at Amazon Web Services, I've spent much of my career finding creative ways to make learning engaging and accessible.
Today, I bring that same passion to The Little Virtues, combining storytelling, character development, and playful learning experiences for children and the people who love them.
Because I believe raising good humans isn't about getting every moment right.
It's about making the little moments count.
