After learning she has diabetes, Maddie finds the courage to share with her friends.
Maddie was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She's nervous about managing her disease and telling others. But as she goes back to school, plays soccer, and spends time with her friends, she becomes more comfortable and confident talking about her health. A sensitive story that's a great introduction to understanding diabetes for anyone who has the disease or knows someone who does.

The first child who checked out “Diabetes doesn’t Stop Maddie” asked to keep it forever. She had it 3 weeks then cheerfully told me her aunt is buying her a copy. ❤️ This book is important and fills needs. Thank you @SG_Marsh, Maria Luisa Di Gravio, & @AlbertWhitman https://t.co/t8HrcOjp5o
