Getting Ready for My Ear Tube Surgery - Paperback

by Fei Zheng-Ward (Author)

Is your child getting ready for ear tube surgery? Are they feeling a little nervous?

Written by a board-certified anesthesiologist, Getting Ready for My Ear Tube Surgery is here to help your little one understand interesting facts about their ears and what to expect from their surgery and recovery.

This is not your average storybook. It's a guide, a friend, and a game rolled into one. This book takes kids on a journey through their own ears. Sounds wild, right? It explains all those parts they can't see, like the middle ear and the Eustachian tube, in words they'll understand and enjoy.

• It walks them through ear infections. Nasty stuff but less scary now.
• Talks about the Eustachian tube. Sounds fancy, but it's just a part of the ear that helps it breathe and drain.
• The main event: ear tube surgery. Quick, simple, and nothing to sweat about.
• And how to have a comfortable recovery at home.

This book makes the scary stuff less scary. Kids even get to draw and answer questions. By the end, they'll know their ears better than the back of their hand.

The mission of this book is to provide your child with the following:

Learn about different parts of the ear and what they do via easy-to-understand language.

Empower your little one with their newfound knowledge.
