About Us
Hi, I'm Melissa—
the heart behind The Little Cowgirl.
This all started with my daughter—she's the inspiration behind everything you see here.
She’s my inspiration in every sense of the word—strong, determined, kind, and growing into who she is a little more every day. Watching her has shaped everything about this brand… what I create, what I believe in, and what I want to put into the world.
Because to me, being a “little cowgirl” isn’t about where you live.
It’s about how you live.
It’s about strong roots.
And the kind of confidence that comes from being raised to know your worth.
I created The Little Cowgirl because I wanted more of that for her—
and for girls like her.
The books came first.
Stories meant to build confidence, spark imagination, and remind girls they are capable, brave, and deeply grounded in who they are.
But it didn’t stop there.
This grew into a clothing and accessory line for women and children—
because I wanted that same feeling to exist in everyday life, not just in stories.
Pieces that feel warm, comfortable, and real.
WHERE IT BEGAN: THE STORIES
The books came first.
Stories written to help girls feel brave, capable, and grounded—the kind that stay with them long after the last page.
They’re meant to build confidence, spark imagination, and remind them they can do hard things.
WHAT IT BECAME: EVERYDAY PIECES
From there, it grew into something more.
A collection of clothing and accessories for women and children—created to bring that same feeling into everyday life.
Pieces that feel comfortable, lived-in, meaningful. The kind you reach for without thinking… because they feel like you.
The little moments mean the most.
- Getting ready for the day together
- Reading side by side
- Matching without planning to
- Creating traditions without even realizing it
