Winner Canadian Children’s Book Centre Our Choice Selection 2005


 

“The viewpoint is that of middle child wanting his parents’ attention. His focus in on this need and not on the changes that he should recognize as warning signs that something is physically wrong with him. The story deals with real issues a young person could face while growing up.”
CM: Canadian Review of Materials

 

 

“This book is a terrific read for adults as well as young people and speaks the truth about diabetes. Josh will be a hockey player with diabetes, not a diabetic hockey player.”
