About this item
by Sara Finzel (Author)
Meet Emilia and Her Sugar Dragon, a magical, heartwarming story that helps children understand Type 1 Diabetes with kindness, honesty, and a touch of whimsy.
When her Sugar Dragon is calm, Emilia runs, plays, and laughs with her friends. But sometimes the Dragon gets sleepy and low, or fiery and high, and that's when Emilia uses her snacks, water, insulin pump, glucose monitor, and even her school nurse to help.
Through playful rhymes and vibrant illustrations, children learn:
- Why Emilia may need a snack or break during the day
- How her insulin pump and CGM help keep her Dragon calm
- How friends can show kindness, patience, and inclusion
Perfect for classrooms, families, and support groups, Emilia and Her Sugar Dragon is a gentle way to introduce children to Type 1 Diabetes. Teachers will find it a valuable read-aloud during Diabetes Awareness Month, while parents and caregivers will appreciate the empowering message for kids who live with Diabetes every day.
At its heart, this book reminds every child with Type 1 Diabetes: You are brave, you are strong, and your Diabetes is only one part of your story.
