Little Little is a coming of age story muddled by the main characters' extra differences. Little Little is a dwarf about to celebrate her 18th birthday. Her parents have always tried to make her life as normal as possible but when her mother starts to limit her interactions to other "diminuitives"...well, there is nothing that makes you feel so weird as to be segregated with other outsiders. Within the dwarf community there are strata of looks, lumps, and money. Can Little Little find friends outside the approved group?

Little Lion is a charismatic preacher and Sidney Cinnamon dresses as a roach for a living; they both reach out to Little Little and she responds to both of them
