FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Award-winning children’s book The Little Virtues helps kids process emotions

20 January 2023

Publisher Resource Publications says both children and adults will relate to timeless stories about empowerment and learning to love oneself.

BREMERTON, WA – Children’s author Rose Sprinkle announces the soon-to-be-released book, The Little Virtues Compilation, a book to help kids develop morals and emotional resilience. Published by Resource Publications, an imprint of Wipf and Stock Publishers, a growing publisher based in the Northwest, The Little Virtues includes five children’s stories each teaching a different life-lesson. The book’s underlying message is that despite circumstances, kids can find peace and happiness.

Each virtue teaches a different strength.

“My hope in writing The Little Virtues is that we can help kids build their character and emotional resilience so they're best prepared to face life's challenges. Virtues apply to everyone no matter their circumstance, and every child deserves the tools to live a healthy and productive life.”

-Rose Sprinkle

Filled with fun and relatable characters, Kids easily empathize with the books as each virtue tries to master a different principle with the help of a loving mentor. The Little Virtues does more than show emotional regulation tactics or tips. Rather it shows a full story arc that helps kids understand the development of their feelings, and that what they're experiencing is normal.

"Absolutely love this book. This is a must for every household. Such a great message for every age. My granddaughter is 3 & she loves this book. Obviously, she cannot read but the pictures entertain her because they are illustrated beautifully. She has asked her Mom to read this to her every day since she got it."

-Carl J.

The strong introspective nature in combination with fantasy is what makes The Little Virtues a unique children's book and fan favorite for both kids and adults. The lessons are presented simply enough for a child to understand, and yet are detailed and profound enough to be appreciated by adults. The bold use of color and rhyme-verse easily engages kids in a fun and impactful way.

“My brother can sometimes be mean, but I think it's because he's sad like Little Love,” said a second grader after reading Little Love.

Virtues are admirable qualities like patience, love, honesty, and courage. They're considered timeless and desirable for every person and child.

“I think now more than ever we need stories like these to help parents and children begin to understand why they do the things they do and to be empowered to make different choices. It's far more than just emotional regulation. It's about living an authentically rich and wholesome life that can influence for the better.” explained Sprinkle.

The Little Virtues is loosely based on lessons learned from Sprinkle’s life challenges. She was inspired to write each story as she was struggling to develop that particular attribute.

I’ve always wanted to write a children’s book, and what started as one just kept growing into more. Each book was a profound lesson to me, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to share these stories

-Rose Sprinkle

Wipf and Stock Publishers’ Managing Editor/Owner, Jim Tedrick, commented: “When Rose’s first book proposal for Little Love came to me, I was struck not only by this wonderful story that ought to be shared, but by Rose herself: her vision, drive and talent are at the heart of these stories—with more books to come.”
