Little Blue is a story about a bright young Collective Student who comes to Earth to study humans and share universal truths from other galaxies. Kaleekiki, affectionately known as Kiki by her friends, shares otherworldly stories while providing valuable life and spiritual lessons to help guide her soon-to-be human friends. Ultimately, her goal is to gently inform the readers that an influx of beings is on its way to Earth.
In parallel, we meet Penny, an "old soul" teenager living in Arkansas, USA. One evening, she and her best friend, Shelby, encounter a large ball of light. This sparks Penny's journey of self-discovery as she embraces her unique talents. Eventually, Kiki and Penny meet, suggesting that aliens and humans may not be so different after all.
"Little Blue" is a magically engaging, environmentally themed story filled with a diverse array of characters. It encompasses elements of science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, geography, cultural fundamentals, LGBTQI+ themes, and metaphysics. The story is aimed at a Young Adult+ audience.
