This book is dedicated to my daughter Dania and all kids living with type one diabetes. As Dania started her first grade this year, she realized she is not like the rest of the students in her classroom. She has type one diabetes. She told me that she doesn‛t like it when the school nurse calls her to the office while she is doing something fun in the classroom. She doesn‛t want to answer the question that one of her friends normally ask her every time,"why did you go to the nurse again?". The purpose of this story is to educate kids about type one diabetes. This story is also written to encourage kids with type one diabetes to feel that they are not alone, and they are like Dania. The story also encourages students to support their friends with type one diabetes. Thank you for buying my book. I hope your kids enjoy it!
