I Will Take Care Of My Diabetes And I Can (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990314504)

Join Safi in "I Will Take Care of My Diabetes And I Can!" as our spirited seven-year-old heroine embarks on a whimsical journey through the realms of self-discovery, resolute determination, and empowering adventures, all while navigating the world with Type 1 diabetes.

In the enchanting town of Ann Arbor, our lovely Safi, adorned with dark, curly locks and a spirit that sparkles, experiences a twist in her tale. Though school days and exploring beautiful gardens bring her joy, an invisible foe, later revealed to be diabetes, introduces her to new adventures and challenges. After mystical visits to a healing castle (the hospital), Safi, with her mighty spirit, embraces her new quest of managing her condition, with the wisdom of wizards and sorceresses (doctors and nurses) and the unwavering support of her queen mother.

In her castle of everyday (home), Safi learns to wield new tools like CGMs and insulin pumps, becoming a little warrior, managing her blood sugar levels and ensuring her kingdom within remains balanced and thriving. Her journey is not without its dragons - the teasing from her schoolmates introduces shadows to her path. Yet, with a heart full of courage and a gentle yet resolute spirit, Safi transforms her school into a learning castle, enlightening her peers about the mysteries of diabetes and turning prickly thorns into blooming flowers of understanding and empathy.

As the pages of her adventure book turn, Safi sails smoothly and sometimes through slightly bumpy paths, ensuring her kingdom (her body) remains in harmony, with sugars checked and spirits lifted through love, knowledge, and a sprinkle of fun adventures. Safi's story becomes a beacon of resilience, self-love, and the pivotal role of understanding and education.

In the end, Safi doesn't just live in her tale but sparkles, encouraging young readers to dance through their unique stories, face their dragons, and blossom in their own adventures, just like she does. Safi's tale is not just a story; it's a gentle embrace, welcoming everyone to a world where challenges are but stepping stones to becoming one's own hero.
