A whole new way to HERO.
With role models to inspire their imagination
children can embrace HEROIC VIRTUE,
energized by God’s GRACE,
as their eternal SUPER-power.
Every boy and girl can BE a V*HERO!
V*HERO is the new symbol of Heroic Virtue: the POWER that gives us SUPER-natural strength!
We encourage you to help your child to imagine him or herself as a V*HERO (virtue hero), whose “super powers” are hidden in plain sight, as they live with the strength of God’s love in each daily thought, prayer, conversation, and action. Virtue Heroes make the world a better place during our time on earth, while also preparing for the journey to our forever home to be with all God’s heroes in heaven.
Tiny Virtue Heroes are pretend friends who turn a child’s IMAGINATION into a sacred training space, in which everyday habits are powered by the “G-Force” of God’s grace to become real life super-powers! These animal and insect characters are friendly “sidekick” storytellers, who introduce kids to real Virtue Heroes from the Bible and from the Virtue Mission Regions of the world. Pretending with the Virtue Heroes can make children virtue-STRONG!
The Tiny Virtue Heroes are a tiny but mighty menagerie of illustrated animals and insects who are at the heart of a much larger Virtue Literacy Vision. These animated characters are also featured in the recommendations for children’s content on VFAVE.com - an online virtue-based rating system for books, videos, music, and more. The Virtue Literacy Project is the not-for-profit initiative affiliated with the V*HERO brand that works to energize habits of virtue - in people of all ages - through the content we read, watch and listen.

Kind reviews of the books and the series:
TVH Series:
Danielle Bean - Acclaimed author and Brand Manager: CatholicMom.com
I love watching these characters come to life. I know there’s lots of good things to come! Everybody go to VirtueHeroes.com. Check out all the characters there and introduce your kids to them!
Jesus Lost and Found:
Catholic author T. M. Gauoette
"This beautifully illustrated story about the finding of Jesus in the Temple is so sweetly told. I love this whole concept of teaching our young children the different Mysteries of the Rosary, and then adding virtue heroes for children to befriend and emulate. Cathy Gilmore's Virtue Heroes series is a truly valuable gift for our time, and Jeanie Egolf's illustrations are the icing on the cake. Gorgeous! So in love with this!"
A Mouse and a Miracle:
Kieth Berube - Marian Scholar “I LOVE this little book! Seriously, the text, the pictures, just lovely, it's wonderful.”
Janeen - Beautiful book, beautiful message A well-known priest recently said if you want your children to be holy, don’t just tell them what not to do, teach them the virtues. Cathy Gilmore wraps the message of humility in an engaging story with stunning illustrations. This story will help children understand the life and times of the Blessed Mother and help them relate to her. I can’t wait to read the next one in the series!
Don - Delightful book with an amazing story
Love this book! My children were so excited to read it. My first grader fell in love with Mo the Mouse. I was so happy to have content that teaches virtues in such a delightful way. The illustrations are breathtakingly beautiful. Highly recommend this book.
Erin Broestl - Mary, the Mother of Jesus growing up and at the Annunciation with her little mouse friend, Mo
This book is destined to become a classic. It tells the story of Mary, the Mother of Jesus as she grows up in the temple with her little mouse friend, Moshe. Gorgeous illustrations are reminiscent of Disney but very respectful of the subject matter! Mary dancing with delight is my favorite one. The virtue that Mary teaches us is humility, and every child can learn that virtues are the real superpowers! A must-have for your school, library, or personal story collection for children grades preschool through 4th grade.
L. Wahl - A Family Treasure
What a fantastic book! The story is absolutely beautiful and the illustrations are stunning! The engaging little mouse, Moshe, will delight youngsters while teaching them about the incredible faith of Mary.
Andrea Anthony - (Australia) Beautiful and Meaningful
I loved that this book was not only an imaginative retelling of a true story, it also had facts and information at the back of the book to help keep the knowledge of the Catholic faith growing in children.
Wisdom Finds a Way:
Karen Kelly Boyce - acclaimed creator of "The Sisters of the Last Straw" series
"Cathy Gilmore and her Tiny Virtue Heroes continue to captivate and teach the young. This is a powerful, delightful, and beautifully illustrated book. I love it."
Tisa - Children NEED this! Beautiful story!
A beautiful story with a strong, positive message for children. I bought a few of these for the kids I nanny and both they and their parents love them! Wonderfully written and illustrated.
Don - Stunning illustrations and beautiful story.
A wonderful story and stunning illustrations. My six year old just adores Amel the Camel. The illustrations are so beautiful that it captured her imagination. We are working on her reading skills, so this is a delightful joy that we read over and over again.
YV MB - Packed with lessons of faith, capturing children's attention and creativity!
This book, along with A Mouse and A Miracle (first book in the series) are absolutely AMAZING!! They're filled with wonderful faith content, perfect for capturing and maintaining children's attention and interest. These books provide a very entertaining, inspiring, and hopeful way of learning about God and the many virtues that are a part of living our faith. Absolutely recommend!!
Christina - Captured my children’s imaginations
I can not recommend this book enough. My 6 yo daughter and 10 yo son love it! We are so excited to collect all of the virtue heroes! (Mom even learned a thing or two).
