In Eliette's debut children's book, readers meet Estey Grey, a bright, creative girl who is inspired to learn how to play the trombone after hearing jazz musicians in New Orleans. Born with a limb difference, Estey approaches challenges with determination and imaginative thinking. With a little help from her family, she creates a prosthetic that helps her shine alongside the musical stars of the French Quarter.

When asked about her inspiration to write a book, Eliette explained, "After meeting families in the limb difference community through the Helping Hand Project, I became acutely aware of the importance of disability representation. I wrote Estey Grey Plays Her Own Way to empower children to embrace what makes them different and view it as their greatest strength."

Estey Grey Plays Her Own Way is available on Amazon, Barnes&Noble.com, and through Jan-Carol Publishing, Inc., https://jancarolpublishing.square.site/s/order.
