Lainey's Type One Diabetes Adventures: Mixing Up Magic in Italy, Book 2

By Patricia Branigan and Beth Buttery

Going back to school can bring a whole new set of worries when your child has Type 1 diabetes.

For Lainey, the closer the first day gets, the more nervous she becomes. She's the only kid in her class with Type 1 diabetes, and she can't stop worrying about what the other kids will think when she has to do things that no one else in her class has to do. Will they stare? Will they ask questions? Will they think she's weird?

The more Lainey thinks about going back to school, the more she wishes she could just stay home. She doesn't want to stand out. She just wants to be like everyone else.

Lainey doesn't know what to do with all those worries. But Granny has a little something up her sleeve. Her magical wooden spoon whisks Lainey away on another adventure-this time to Italy.

There, she meets a new friend who knows what it's like to be different, too. His kindness and the way he talks about his own challenges help Lainey see her worries in a new way.

If your child has ever worried about going to school with Type 1, wondered what other kids might think, or wished they didn't have to do things differently, Lainey's story can help them feel a little less alone. It gives parents and kids a chance to talk about Type 1, school, friendship, and how to handle feeling different from everyone else.

Come along with Lainey for another magical adventure in Italy

"Another heartwarming adventure and fun way of demonstrating the use of positive coping skills that can apply to anyone, no matter the person or situation. A truly enjoyable read and I can't wait to read the next book "
