Sigh. Kids these day, I'm glad that in one year, I officially am not one of them anymore.

Anyhoo. I'm pretty sure of it that noone will put their time teaching some kid they plucked of the internet to teach them spriting. I can assure you, noone.
So just follow my advice and go learn it yourself, the internet tutorials can get you started on the basics. The pure basics.
The books are good for you, really. If you can find books about making graphics in games, pixel art or spriting. You really should read them if you want to be good. Because knowledge is power. You can't get good at something you don't fully understand.
And last but really not least. Get drawing. Because if you are good at drawing, you can be good at spriting. Because spriting actually is nothing more than drawing. And animating of course, so I suggest you try that too.
Sprites are pictures, animated game pictures to be exact, that really proves that you have a lot to learn, so get going.
