Where is Ellie’s Hair?
A story of courage, imagination, and love in the face of childhood cancer.

Meet Ellie — a vibrant, brave, and sassy young girl whose world is full of adventure, laughter, and love. But everything changes when Ellie and her family receive the difficult news that she is sick. As treatment begins and her hair starts to fall out, Ellie is faced with something new and confusing.

One morning, when Ellie wakes up without her hair, she and her mum go on a heartwarming and magical journey into the world of make-believe, dreaming up playful and whimsical reasons her hair might have disappeared. From elves and superheroes to mermaids and mischievous pets, Ellie uses the power of imagination to cope with the changes happening in her life.

Where is Ellie’s Hair? Gently introduces children to the reality of cancer treatment while celebrating resilience, creativity, and the strength of a child’s spirit. This story was originally written for a real girl named Ellie and has since grown into a heartfelt mission and with a large portion of the proceeds supporting Ellie’s journey and raising funds for childhood cancer charities.

Perfect for families, educators, and support workers, this book opens up important conversations in a way that is comforting, empowering, and filled with hope.
