Ellie Faces Exclusion is a heartfelt story about feeling different and learning that everyone belongs.

When Ellie feels unsure about explaining her family to classmates, she begins to withdraw and feels left out. With the help of a kind neighbor and a new friend, Ellie learns that families come in many shapes and sizes-and that true friends accept each other just as they are.

Part of the A to Z Social Issues Children Face series, this story helps children build confidence, empathy, and the courage to connect with others.
