Sarah and Puffle: A Story for Children About Diabetes

Some days Sarah gets tired of having diabetes. While other kids can do what they like, when they like, she must exercise, eat, and receive her medication on a schedule. One day when Sarah is feeling especially down, her special friend Puffle lifts her spirits with comfort and helpful advice. Sarah and Puffle offers an uplifting message to children with diabetes, and demystifies the disease for their siblings, friends, and classmates. An extensive introduction for parents describes the needs of the child with diabetes but makes it clear that "a child is a child first, and a child with diabetes second."
