We used to think diabetes primarily affected older people—until we had the opportunity to work with Dr. Bintu Mansaray on her children’s health series, including the impactful book titled My Body's Little Buddy. Through this project, Amie and the Safe Keepers Project, we learned about type 1 diabetes in children and the importance of educating both parents and kids on this condition. This understanding helped us create illustrations that effectively communicate the message to young readers and their families.
On this World Diabetes Day, we encourage you to check out the link below and get a copy of this book on amazon for your children. It’s a wonderful way to introduce them to the importance of health and understanding diabetes early on.
