My Life with Diabetes - A Diverse Children's Book Review

My Life with Diabetes was written by Mari Schuh and illustrated by Ana Sebastian. This book was published on July 15, 2023 by Amicus Learning.

The book is informational but it is also a story. It goes through some of the symptoms of diabetes, including how the young girl found out about her condition. It explains that the child gets insulin through a pump and that she needs to check her blood sugar often.

Although the main focus of the book is diabetes, the author does a good job of focusing on the protagonist's life separate from her condition. It explains all the activities she can still do, like being in science class with her peers. It also explains that the child loves art and gymnastics.

Overall, I believe this is a great book for older elementary schoolers to help them understand diabetes.
