Sparkle Stories Blog

This week we are honoring stories of girls who are go-getters, idea makers, courageous, brave in the face of adversity and kind. We believe that every girl has a strong girl in her and we hope these stories will inspire the strong girl in your Sparkle Family.

This week's playlist — though titled "Sibling Rivalry" — is a potpourri of conflict resolution, tolerance, empathy, boundaries, clear communication and acceptance of our little sisters, big brothers and every other iteration of our primary relationships: our siblings.

We have lots and lots of stories to help you and your kids happily pass the time in the car.

We've got some great stories this week to help motive little helpers to clean, pick up, and help out with chores around the house.

These stories are of healthy competition, winning and losing, what it is to lead a team, and what it is to play on a team: skills useful for anyone who loves to play games.

Spring is in the air and we've got plenty of stories to get you in the mood.

Who am I? Do I belong? Where are there people like me? All children ask these questions at some point in their development and these stories are designed to meet them at this point — and then to reassure them that: they are themselves — and they belong.

This collection features stories that are all about wondrous interactions between people. Have you ever met someone and felt like they lit up a room? It seemed as if you'd known them forever and talking to them was incredibly easy? These stories are about those wonderful kinds of people that inspire awe and wonder.
