Type 1 Strong Through the Holidays

Whether Type 1 diabetes has touched your life personally or you simply know a child or family who is newly learning how to live with it, Type 1 Strong Through the Holidays was created to help make those first holiday seasons feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more hopeful.

This coloring book follows Paisley as she learns that managing Type 1 diabetes means being prepared, keeping important supplies close by, checking and monitoring glucose levels, making thoughtful food choices, staying active, and understanding that healthy routines and lifestyle changes can become part of everyday life without taking away the fun.

The holidays can be especially challenging when everything seems to revolve around candy, desserts, parties, and big meals. This book helps show children that they can still participate, celebrate, and enjoy the season while learning how to care for themselves and ask for help when they need it.

Even if diabetes has never affected your own family, this is a wonderful book for building understanding, compassion, and awareness. And if there is a child in your family who has recently been diagnosed, I hope Paisley’s story reminds them that they are still the same brave, capable, fun-loving child they have always been.
