This story was developed when my 3-year-old daughter Ava was diagnosed with a rare kidney cancer. A few weeks into treatment, her hair began to fall out and she wanted to shave it off herself It made her happy at first but she was afraid to face her friends. Together, we made up the story about the Bald Princess, which entertained her throughout her year-long treatment. Our dear friend Brian Watts created the illustrations that perfectly fit our vision. We hope this story touches your heart, and is helpful to children that you love. Thanks to a new research study, our very own bald Princess Ava is now a healthy 11-year old girl | The Bald Princess by Ava Harb, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
