Lizards Lizzi, Lewis, and Larry meet Lacie, and are surprised when she lines up to race with them, despite the insulin pump she is wearing, and learn more about the disease as they begin a series of adventures together.
I love this book. This is how my parents would teach my elementary school about diabetes. They used this every year and made it a huge activity. This book is educational, fun, and creative! Having a lizard with diabetes certainly helps elementary school aged children understand that their classmate has medical problems. However, the book does a great job of explaining that everyone is different, and with some understanding, diabetes isn’t a scary thing.
