Welcome to the SPRiTELEES From Kindness Grove Knoll
In the Knoll, every child dreams of earning a Sparkpack—a magical backpack that shines with kindness. Each SPRiTELEE must complete three acts of kindness to earn their spark. Every story celebrates a different kindness theme, supports a children’s cause, and invites young readers to learn, laugh, and make the world a kinder place.
Magical Sparkpacks Come In Seven Colors
SPRiTELEE sparkpacks never get heavy, can carry anything, and reflect the bright kindness sparks we generate with our kind actions. See how Vissy, Zing, Tella and Flash earned their Sparkpacks below!

Your eBook is absolutely magical and brilliant for young children to learn about generosity and kindness! I bought it immediately for my five-year-old niece for the holidays!

As a second grade teacher, I always knew that it was very important to help my students understand the importance of kindness and charity towards others and incorporated this into my classroom activities. Marcia visited my class for years. She is a wonderful author/storyteller and her own acts of charity prove the value of selflessness in action.

I've never seen my students more excited to practice kindness. After hearing the SPRiTELEES tale, my students started planning kind acts so they could earn their Spartificates immediately.

We can’t wait for the next five books to come out. My children are hooked! All they want to do is “spark” like the Spritelees!

How did the SPRiTELEES get their name?
The SPRiTELEES got their name from the word sprightly—that bright, can-do spirit that makes anything possible, one kind action at a time.
What are sparkpacks?
Sparkpacks are magical backpacks that ordinary children earn when they spark kindness 3 times in a row to become SPRiTELEES. They come in seven bright colors, can carry anything, and never get heavy. Sparkpacks spark reflecting the light generated from a kindness shared.
