## Description

"Finally a book my Type 1 kid can connect with, that’s not a “baby book”. HIGHLY RECOMMEND" - desertcart customer Nine year old Audrey May knows that life can be full of changes. She’s traveled all over the world with her Dad who works on movies, but she’s never been to a school with other kids. She has no idea that starting a new school will be much easier than finding out she has Type 1 Diabetes . Thankfully she won’t face it alone, she has the love of her parents and her crazy little sister to get her through the ups and downs. "A must-read for anyone dealing with the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes" - Dr. Kevin Kaiserman, Pediatric Endocrinologist "THE UPS AND DOWNS OF AUDREY MAY is a touching and brilliant jewel of a book. I flew through the pages… incredibly moved by her journey as she learns how to live in a new way." Luanne Rice, New York Times Best Selling Author "I liked this story because there is a character like me. She is brave and responsible about diabetes. She learns to take care of herself at school and home, and her friends learn about diabetes, too." - Grace age 9

Review: Help your child learn about diabetes with this touching and encouraging story - I just finished reading The Ups and Downs of Audrey May with my son, who is in third grade. The book is beautifully written and explores an important topic -- a child and family dealing with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Reading the story together led to great discussions about this disease, as well as about dealing with difficult life circumstances in general. My son was engaged in the storytelling from the start -- it has a great blend of drama, comedy, and facts about diabetes. In fact, I would start reading a passage, and he would jump in and take over the reading, especially when the adorable character Lizzy was talking. This is a great book for families dealing with difficult medical circumstances as well as those who just want to help their children learn how to deal with great challenges with dignity and courage.
Review: MUST BUY!!! - If you or anyone you know has children that have battled or are battling with Diabetes do yourself a favor and order them this book. It is THE most thoughtful, inspirational, and relatable book on this topic that I have ever come across. As an individual who watched my father struggle with this disease my entire life and then watched my little brother battle the same things since age 12 I can not put into words how amazing it would have been to be able to give them something like this to read. Its encouraging, uplifting and very very well written. I am so grateful that the author followed her heart and wrote this book. I can NOT imagine the number of lives it will touch.
