An alphabet for navigating hospital experiences

Organized from A to Z, this children’s book introduces hospital vocabulary alongside medical tools, emotions, and the people who support children in care. Its inspiration is Zakariya’s experience of spending 145 days in the hospital, and the description frames the book around helping young readers understand medical journeys. It also makes room for questions and feelings, with family support as a recurring part of the subject. The alphabet format gives the book a clear way to approach unfamiliar hospital terms one letter at a time.
