The Bravest Girl in School
by Kate Gaynor
Summary
It is a story about Diabetes and taking insulin for young kids. Although parents are of course primarily responsible for the care of their child's diabetes, it is important that the children themselves are aware that they too must take some responsibility. This book encourages children to follow the instructions given to them by their doctors and parents, to eat healthily, and to see their insulin injections as something brave that they do, that other children cannot! Instead of viewing diabetes and their daily injections as something negative, the story encourages them to think of it as something that sets them apart from their peers in a positive way!
