A new diagnosis. A lot of fear. And a little boy who discovers he is stronger than he thinks.
When five-year-old Peter learns he has Type 1 Diabetes, everything suddenly feels scary. Blood checks hurt. Insulin injections are frightening. And Peter doesn't know how he is going to handle all the changes ahead.
Then Peter discovers a powerful secret: he can use the things he already loves to help him cope.
With imagination, happy thoughts, music, and his own special talents, Peter finds ways to turn scary moments into something he can manage. His journey helps children understand that it is okay to feel afraid and that there are healthy ways to cope with those feelings.
Inspired by the author's five-year-old nephew and his courage after being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, Peter's Special Concoction offers children and families a gentle, encouraging introduction to coping with the emotional challenges of a lifelong diagnosis.
A story about courage, coping, and discovering that the strengths you already have can help you through the hardest moments.
