Bonny has the most special friend in the whole world! Someone who accepts her just as she is with her sensory issues. Together they always have so much fun! But one day, Ella has to move away, leaving Bonny feeling very empty and lost. What will she do now?

Will she ever find another friend like Ella? Will she ever be able to do the things she has always wanted to do? With a bit of magic and some unexpected friends finding her along the way, Bonny realises that there is always hope. She finds that special someone who will help her step outside of her comfort zone and walk with her everywhere she goes!

This beautiful and tender story will help children navigate loss and encourage those with special needs that they are not alone, and that they can do new things too. This story is full of encouragement, and we hope that it will help any child know they can do new things—even if it feels hard. We know so many children will see themselves in these pages and say, “that is just like me!”

Ella and Star by Michelle Wanasundera is a story of friendship, hope, and resilience that resonates with everyone.
