An A-to-Z introduction to surgery for children

Maya’s broken arm leads into an A-to-Z guide to what a child may encounter around surgery. The book introduces anesthesia, hospital equipment and the roles of doctors and nurses, while adding science facts and simple activities such as feeling a pulse and listening to a heartbeat. Its alphabet structure brings together preparation for a first operation and basic STEM learning, with a multicultural healthcare team represented in the illustrations. Written by a board-certified anesthesiologist, it explains the process in a child-focused format that can also support conversations with adults before a hospital visit.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children preparing for a first surgery or curious about what happens in a hospital

  • Teachers introducing health and STEM topics through an alphabet-based book
