Liver Transplantation: Volume 1: The Basics

Liver Transplantation, Part One: The Basics takes readers through everything they need to know about liver transplantation. From explaining what livers do, to what it means when they don’t work, this book uses relatable analogies to help young readers understand complex medical concepts. Using the analogy of a car, the book explains that just like a car needs a new engine when it’s broken, our body needs a new liver when it’s not working properly. This book is the first in a series on Liver Transplantation which, when used together, guides readers through the entire experience of having a liver transplant. With vibrant illustrations and easy-to-understand language, as well as a glossary of commonly used words by doctors, this informative and enjoyable book is part of the series The Strength of My Scars, written and illustrated by surgeon, Maria Baimas-George.
