Abstract

Esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) is a condition that occurs when the esophagus and trachea do not fully separate during embryonic development. This children's book aims to provide an accurate, age-appropriate scientific description of EA/TEF to increase awareness and understanding of this condition among affected children, their loved ones, and the general public.

The book follows Starlette, who receives a journal from her parents on her birthday. Through her diary writing, readers will accompany Starlette as she remembers and describes her experience with EA/TEF, in simplified language and illustrations.

The book is based on contributions from a variety of EA/TEF specialists, including researchers, medical professionals, and patients, ensuring that the information presented is accurate and comprehensive.
