Read an extract from Trachie-O-Potamus’s Big Race by Timothy Runyon

Trachie-O-potomus breathes through a tracheostomy tube. Join us on his journey to the Big Race! This children’s tracheostomy book is great for teachers, speech-language pathologists, therapists, parents and children. It provides awareness surrounding tracheostomy as well as promoting love, acceptance, and inclusion.

A tracheostomy tube is a tube that is placed into the neck to help with breathing. Breathing is redirected through the tube instead of through the nose and mouth. This adorable book was written by speech-language pathologists who are experts in tracheostomy management.
