In Single Ventricle: My One Pump Train Station, readers are guided through understanding single ventricle heart defects using a fun analogy of our hearts being train stations. Through simple explanations and fun color illustrations, you will learn how blood is pumped around our bodies, and why having a single ventricle makes this harder. The book includes helpful information about different surgical procedures and a glossary of common words you'll hear doctors use through treatment. This informative and enjoyable book is part of the series The Strength of My Scars, written and illustrated by surgical resident, Maria Baimas-George.
