The Collection

Four virtues.

Each volume is a keepsake — the kind of book that ends up stained with frosting, tucked under pillows, and eventually handed down.

The Complete Set

All four,
bundled with care.

All four volumes in the Virtue Series, together — ready for the Easter basket, the baby-shower table, or the shelf above the changing pad. Author signature available free on request.

Caroline B. Cook and her mother Trisha T. Bridges Caroline & Trisha · Nashville, TN
A Note From Caroline
"I wanted to write stories that
reflect God's truths —
softly, the way little hearts receive them."

After years of reading bedtime stories to my four children, I started writing a series of my own — stories about the fruits of the Spirit, told gently enough for little ones to carry with them. My mother Trisha paints every page by hand. I write every word. Four virtues, from a kitchen table in Nashville.

— with love, Caroline
