My 7 year old diabetic daughter loved the book....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
My 7 year old daughter loves horses and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 3. My daughter was a little annoyed that I bought a book with a diabetes storyline, but she quickly found out that the book was more about horses, parties and friends than diabetes. The book pulls you in very quickly- I read the book too. I learned a lot of technical terms about horse riding. As for diabetes, my daughter took pride in knowing exactly what the main character was feeling and became aware of just how much diabetes knowledge she has learned since being diagnosed. I related to the mom- being scared, overprotective after being diagnosed. Highly recommend the book to anyone - diabetic or not.
