Biliary Atresia: My Troublesome Tree, follows a child's experience with biliary atresia, a complex disease that blocks the bile system causing liver failure. The story describes the liver and bile ducts as a magnificent tree that becomes diseased. From disease onset to the Kasai procedure, liver transplantation, and immunosuppression medicines, the book guides readers through every step in easy-to-understand language and vibrant illustration. The book aims to help caregivers of a newborn with biliary atresia understand the anatomy and hospital course, and also serves as a resource for patients when they grow up and want to understand their medical journey, and share their experience with loved ones. A 'Facts' section at the end includes important information, and a glossary of 'Doctor Words' explains relevant medical terms in plain language. This informative and comforting book is part of The Strength of My Scars series, written and illustrated by surgeon Maria Baimas-George.
