Weesie's Operation
by Michelle Andrade


Weesie uses a hearing aid. She wears it on a headband that holds it in place against her head. Weesie doesn’t mind wearing her headband, but it’s getting old and stinky, and it gets in her way. When her doctor tells her about a special operation that can help her hearing aid stay in place on its own, Weesie is curious. But is she ready to have an operation and get rid of her headband for good? Join Weesie as she learns about implant surgery and makes an important choice for herself with the help of family, friends, and doctors.


Michelle Andrade has worked with children and adults experiencing head and neck issues for over twenty-five years. Weesie’s Operation, her debut picture book, was inspired by her experiences in this field combined with an eagerness to provide comfort through education.
