They will find some of their own experiences described and at the same time receive reassurance that they are still regular kids.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Even little kids get diabetes. When she was two years old, the girl in this book got really sick and skinny and had to go to the hospital. That's when she found out she had diabetes. Now she knows all about getting insulin shots every day, and testing to see if she has too much sugar or too much insulin. She knows just what to eat and when. But most of all, she knows that in spite of everything, she's just a regular kid.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A reassuring book for a potentially frightening discovery....Language is simple, age appropriate, and effectively gets the point across. The ink-and-watercolor drawings are lively and often upbeat, with small touches that reflect reality...The book fills a definite void, as other titles on the subject are geared for much older readers.--<em>School Library Journal</em></p><br><br><p>A sensible, realistic account, cheered on its way by Westcott's lively illustrations and concluded with a helpful note for parents.--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em></p><br><br><p>While she alludes to the emotional difficulties faced by all family members and concedes there is no cure as yet, she emphasizes that diabetics are regular kids who can lead normal lives...The book will be helpful to anyone who needs to explain this ailment to young children; a note for parents is appended.--<em>Booklist</em></p><br>
