"Oh, How You Sparkle!"

We look up to the night sky and we see the magic in the stars. What if those little stars were looking down and seeing the magic in us?

Meet the book that is touching the hearts of its readers and quickly becoming a baby shower favorite. Oh, How You Sparkle was conceived in one sitting during one of life’s most wondrous moments — the birth of a child.  Written with rhythmic text that encourages word anticipation, it is about the magic of childhood, witnessed by a little star still in the sky who sees simple wonders and everyday miracles—and longs to become human. Written as a keepsake, this book is for grandparents, new parents, and anyone who understands how fleeting and precious those early years truly are.

Follow its journey as it pleads to “the brightest of lights,” and be moved by the outcome. And, by the way, it’s okay if you cry. It’s the good kind of cry.

Oh, How You Sparkle is Kiki’s first children’s book. Writing it revealed a passion for creating stories that remind a child they are uniquely special and deeply loved.  A second book is underway and will begin development in March 2026.

Kiki calls both Atlanta, Georgia and New York home. In the book, you will find a piece of art that pays homage to both locations. Currently. Kiki lives in the Hudson Valley region of New York State.
Kiki Ollie is a Hudson Valley–based author, former marketing executive, and certified leadership coach with more than 30 years of experience guiding individuals and organizations through growth and change. She spent 12 years in executive leadership roles at Turner Broadcasting in Atlanta before founding and leading a multimillion-dollar marketing agency serving Fortune companies and global brands.
Later expanding her work into executive and life coaching, Kiki has helped individuals and business teams clarify direction, navigate transition, and strengthen both personal and organizational effectiveness.
Kiki calls herself an accidental author. She published her debut children’s book, Oh, How You Sparkle, in 2025. She chose to separate her children’s publishing work from her consulting practice, allowing each to serve its audience with clarity and focus. Oh, How You Sparkle is a heart-centered picture book celebrating the wonder of childhood and the importance of every child knowing they are wanted, loved, and deeply valued. Her second book, Oh, What a Treasure You Are, will be released in July of this year.
Kiki is currently working toward launching a Hudson Valley–based coaching consultancy focused on helping individuals navigate major life and identity transitions — strengthening not only individuals, but the communities they serve.

On April 2025, during a snowstorm and the birth of my granddaughter, I wrote my first children’s book — “Oh, How You Sparkle!”

Not because I planned to become an author.
But because I wanted to create something that would live between generations.

Children’s books are not just stories for children:
They are the bridge between grandparents and grandchildren. 
Parents and little ones.
The quiet voice at bedtime that becomes a lifelong memory.

My words are rooted in gratitude and the belief that small moments shape us.

I hope these books become part of the magic in your family.
