Regarding inspirational children's alopecia books or short stories for bald children, books starring Ella The Enchanted Princess—a fairytale bald princess—offer a connection for these children. Ella was born without hair and often struggles with her confidence and self-image.
​
In The Ugly Christmas Tree, the focus is not on Ella but on Joey, The Ugly Christmas Tree. This wonderful and inspirational children's alopecia book touches on bullying. In children's fairy tales, there is always one character that gets bullied. You would think that they would bully Ella because she has no hair. But the bullying happens in the Christmas Tree Forest.
​
Ella overcomes her fears and grows her self-confidence in this inspirational children's alopecia book to allow Joey to do the same. In this children's alopecia book, we have a very excited Princess, Ella, who sets out to find her perfect Christmas tree but meets the horrible bullies who torture Joey, the tiniest
tree in the forest. Ella learns that being majestic and beautiful doesn't matter. A kind heart and being friendly help Ella pick Joey as her perfect tree.
This tale on bullying is all too familiar for bald children who worry about what others may say about their appearance. If your child, or the child of a loved one, looks or acts differently from other kids their age, teaching them about Ella The Enchanted Princess is a great way to help them understand that they are just as valued and unique as other children. Young kids need to have role models they connect with, and Ella, a fairy tale bald princess, is a beautiful example of how it's ok (and even great!) to be different from others. When you give the gift of Ella, you're giving the gift of self-confidence.
