Paperback. Ellie Is Learning About Rumors is a compassionate, emotionally grounded story that helps children and preteens understand the hidden harm of rumors-and the quiet courage it takes to stop them.Ellie is kind, observant, and thoughtful. She notices things others miss: the way laughter changes when someone walks by, the way whispers travel faster than truth, the way hurt doesn't always look loud. When a rumor begins circulating at school, Ellie doesn't hear it all at once. She hears it in pieces-half-sentences, sideways looks, jokes that feel wrong but are disguised as "no big deal." At first, Ellie doesn't know what to do. She isn't the target, but she can feel the ripple of damage spreading anyway.As Ellie watches her friend struggle under the weight of something that isn't true, she begins to understand that rumors don't just pass along information-they pass along fear, insecurity, and power. A story told without care can shrink someone. A lie repeated enough times can start to feel like truth. And silence, even when meant to keep the peace, can accidentally help harm grow.This story gently explores how rumors form, why people repeat them, and how easily they can get out of control. It also looks beneath the surface-showing that rumors often come from unmet needs: the desire to belong, to feel important, or to avoid being the next target. Rather than villainizing children who spread rumors, the book helps readers understand the emotional mechanics behind the behavior while still holding it accountable.Ellie's journey is not about being perfect or brave all at once. She feels torn between wanting to fit in and wanting to do what's right. She worries about becoming a target herself. She wonders if speaking up will make things worse. Through Ellie's internal reflections and gentle conversations with trusted adults, readers see that courage doesn't always look loud-it often looks like choosing truth when it would be easier to stay quiet.As the story unfolds, Ellie learns practical, age-appropriate ways to respond to rumors: not repeating what isn't hers to share, checking facts instead of assuming, setting boundaries around gossip, and using her voice with honesty and kindness. Most importantly, she learns that being a safe person-someone who doesn't trade in whispers-can change the emotional climate of a space.Ellie Is Learning About Rumors validates the confusion and pressure children feel in social environments while offering a steady moral compass rooted in empathy, accountability, and self-respect. The book emphasizes that children are not responsible for fixing everything, but they are responsible for how they participate. Small choices matter. Kindness matters. Integrity matters-even when no one is watching.Written for ages 8-13, this story is ideal for classrooms, counseling settings, families, and faith-based or character-education environments. It opens the door for meaningful conversations about gossip, peer pressure, truth, and emotional safety without shaming or fear-based messaging.At its heart, Ellie's story reminds readers that words have weight-and that choosing not to carry harmful ones is a powerful act of care.

Ellie Is Learning About Rumors is a compassionate, emotionally grounded story that helps children and preteens understand the hidden harm of rumors—and the quiet courage it takes to stop them.
Ellie is kind, observant, and thoughtful. She notices things others miss: the way laughter changes when someone walks by, the way whispers travel faster than truth, the way hurt doesn’t always look loud. When a rumor begins circulating at school, Ellie doesn’t hear it all at once. She hears it in pieces—half-sentences, sideways looks, jokes that feel wrong but are disguised as “no big deal.” At first, Ellie doesn’t know what to do. She isn’t the target, but she can feel the ripple of damage spreading anyway.
As Ellie watches her friend struggle under the weight of something that isn’t true, she begins to understand that rumors don’t just pass along information—they pass along fear, insecurity, and power. A story told without care can shrink someone. A lie repeated enough times can start to feel like truth. And silence, even when meant to keep the peace, can accidentally help harm grow.
