Our flagship story
Meet Michelle: Cybersecurity Director by day and Director of All Things by night. Follow this wife, mom, and full-time kids’ sports taxi as her family tries to find her the perfect gift.
Everything they choose is lovely. Everything is thoughtful. And everything completely misses the point.
So, what does Mommy really want? Let’s just say it won’t fit in a gift bag.

Our little-big idea
Little Problems Publishing turns the everyday chaos we all recognize into stories you’ll want to read again—or give to someone whose life looks suspiciously similar.
Each story begins in the wonderfully familiar town of Maple Grove: a half-farmland, half-subdivision Midwestern town filled with middle-class families doing their best to survive life with their sense of humor intact.
And Sunny—our smiling mascot with exactly seven raindrops—is simply along for the ride, hiding throughout each story and waiting to be found.
Explore the universe
A small Illinois town where family life gets messy, coffee gets reheated, and every little problem has a story.
Home base
Michelle and Jason’s four-bedroom home is full of family, pets, everyday clutter, and a kitchen that sees all the action.
