Taking Diabetes to School

Instructive story of a grade-schooler with diabetes who tells his classmates about the disease and how he manages it. The story offers sensitive insight into the day-to-day school life of a child with a chronic illness.

Other children can start to identify why a peer with diabetes may be treated differently and begin to empathize with the peer. In addition, children with diabetes or children who have conditions that set them apart as being different begin to feel accepted and safe. Includes a Kid Quiz to reinforce new information and Ten Tips for Teachers to provide additional facts and ideas for teacher use. Softcover, 32 pages.
