Inspired by a true story, SuperDaisy tells the tale of a little girl undergoing cancer treatment. Told in rhyme, Daisy lets her imagination run wild as she dresses up in fancy dress, coming to the rescue in different and exciting scenarios. In her superhero disguise, Daisy is able to shake off her worries about being unwell and embrace a freer world - and become the superhero that she really is.
Gently and sympathetically told, this is an inspiring story perfect for young children encountering illness for the first time.
Established in 2006, The Little Princess Trust has donated over 12,000 wigs to child cancer sufferers and raised over GBP15 million for child cancer research. The Little Princess Trust is the only charity like it operating in the UK. All profits from the sale of SuperDaisy go to The Little Princess Trust.
