Each volume is a keepsake — the kind of book that ends up stained with frosting, tucked under pillows, and eventually handed down.
New here? Caroline says start with Still — “because that’s where it started, and really good stuff comes when we’re still.”
All four volumes in the Virtue Series, together — ready for the birthday stack, the baby-shower table, or the shelf above the changing pad. Author signature available free on request.




Companion Edition

Caroline & Trisha · Nashville, TN
"I wanted to write stories that
reflect God's truths —
softly, the way little hearts receive them."
One night I was reading my son a book about dirt — he knew every word — and I thought, surely I could fill him up with something better than that. On a quiet trip soon after, with my Bible in my lap, I realized I hadn’t been still in ten years. I started writing, and by the time I flew home I had three: Joy, Kind, and Still. My mother Trisha — an oil painter who taught herself watercolor for these books — paints every page by hand. I write every word. Four virtues, from a kitchen table in Nashville. I want to be an old lady still writing children’s books.
— with love, Caroline
