Hi...if CBC is normal then I suppose that hemoglobin level is normal in your grand daughter (low iron content which reflects as low hemoglobin is a risk factor for hair loss).
Some medical conditions — like hypothyroidism (a thyroid disorder) or hypopituitarism (an underactive pituitary gland) — can also cause hair loss all over your the child's head, although this is uncommon.
I suggest you approach a pediatric dermatologist regarding this.
