Book Description

This cleverly written fiction book is meant to educate people of all ages about Diabetes. The delightful animals in the story have a unique way of using rhyming words while addressing the seriousness of Diabetes.

Story Overview

The walk Diabetes is on with HOPE is a timeline of finding out about the disease, learning what it takes to manage Diabetes, getting the necessary support and receiving encouragement to cope, while trying to find a cure. The animals portray what diabetics routinely have to do to manage the disease; not wanting to do finger sticks, counting carbs, and taking insulin.

She wrote the book to promote Diabetes Awareness, especially on November 14th since it is World Diabetes Day. Diabetes, though, is a disease that must be taken seriously every day of the year.

Target Audience

Her book is a children’s fiction story; however, diabetics and other people of all ages can learn from it.
