As a librarian who has worked within both public and academic libraries, I simply couldn’t stop myself from looking for and sharing useful books for both children and adults with diabetes. I won’t pretend that I have read suggested books from cover to cover, but they will be titles that I think might be worth a closer look.
So here’s my first storybook for children, chosen mainly for its cuteness and visual appeal… enjoy…
The Diabetic Dinosaur by Harry Edmanson sees Tommy the Dinosaur discovering that he has type 1 diabetes. Helped by a witch doctor and his friends, Tommy soon discovers that he can still live his life and have fun!
