About
The first draft of Little Blue penned by Daniel over 20 years ago
It all started when…
I thought about what connection and community really means. Not just saying we include everyone, but how do we really show it when it counts. This inspiration started me on the path to Little Blue.

“Little Blue”
A Heartwarming Tale of
Kindness and the Magic of Childhood
Step into the magical world of Store Galore! Where clothes come to life, friendships bloom, and kindness shines brighter than anything else. Little Blue, a charming, heartfelt story written by Daniel J. Tighe and beautifully illustrated by Agata Olszewska, is an instant classic that will delight and entertain children, as well as warm the hearts of parents and kids alike.
From the moment Little Blue, a timid yet hopeful little blue suit, arrived at Store Galore! he makes friends with shirts that fly, socks that dance, shoes shaped like fruit and polka dot pants. But when the Big Suits refuse to accept Little Blue because he’s different than them, Little Blue faces the age-old challenge of not being accepted for his true self.
Bravely, Little Blue stands up to the Big Suits, ( “I’m in the rainbow just like you” ) and with the support of the wise and weathered Mr. Raincoat, Little Blue learns the most important lesson of all: it’s not about how you look that matters, but in being kind and compassionate towards everyone - including yourself.
But late at night when it was dark at Store Galore! Little Blue dreamed of a family that would take him home with them. Then one day a smiley child with red, curly hair sees Little Blue and loves him for exactly who he is - right now.
