An invaluable tool for teaching children about diabetes in a fun and engaging way. This book not only educates young readers about the basics of diabetes and its management but also imparts important lessons about personal accountability.

This story not only supports children’s health literacy but also fosters a classroom environment of acceptance and care. A wonderful resource to build compassion and awareness in the early years.

As a former primary teacher, I know this book will be a valuable resource for parents and educators. Children will connect with the characters, and teachers will find it a helpful way to explain what a classmate with Type 1 diabetes may experience.

Leo’s Sleepover: A Diabetic Story is an encouraging and informative children’s book about a young boy learning to manage his diabetes so he can attend a sleepover. It is an accessible, heartwarming read with an uplifting message.
