Lynne Kipnis

This is definitely an older book and it shows it. I liked it because the book told a few different stories of those who have diabetes. There was dialogue in this book, which I am not used to seeing in informational books, which I liked because it was different. However, even the pictures seemed old and I cannot see a child or anyone even liking this book. The main topic of this book is to inform those about diabetes and how you can have friends with diabetes because they really are not different from you. It shows a side to children how being different is okay and how you should accept people who are different than you in your life. One part I really did not like from this book was that there was a picture of a girl giving herself medicine with a needle. Maybe some people do not find this disgusting, but I am not okay with seeing pictures like that, especially in a children's book. This is not a book that I would have in my classroom.… (meer)
