How can you be there for your BFF?
Juliet and Siona, BFFs, have been waiting for this day for two whole years. Read the powerful story of two friends and their experiences on either side of hair donation. Meet their families and discover the challenges and inspiring moments that lead to the ultimate gift in an undeniably beautiful and special friendship. Dream Village’s fourth book tackles important topics like cancer, healthcare, school attendance, and bullying in a visually stunning and accessible way, enabling conversations between kids and grownups in all environments.
The conversation and journey continues below, where kids and grownups can learn more about the topics presented in the book (through our Grownups Guide) and find opportunities to take action and do something (host a fundraiser, attend a fundraiser, raise awareness) to help kids like Siona take up the fight against cancer. $6 from the sale of each copy of Today’s the Day! (the full amount of profits, minus business taxes) will be donated to Children’s Cancer Research Fund. Learn more below.
