Synopsis

This is a fun, upbeat story about a little car that meets a new challenge in life. Rudy, The Little Red Sports Car, is not feeling well one day and his owner Bob takes him into a garage for a checkup. Bob learns that he has to make some adjustments in the way he drives his little car. Rudy's automatic transmission (the pancreas) is broken and Bob now has to use a manual transmission. Bob also has to add a special additive to the oil (insulin). There are many parallels to diabetes but the main message in this upbeat tale is that life with diabetes can go on as usual - just with a few adjustments. This book could also be used by an adult with diabetes to help a child understand what an individual with diabetes experiences every day.

À propos de l'auteur

Hi! Welcome and thanks for visiting! I'm a Senior Citizen who has been living with type 1 diabetes since 1993. The Little Red Sports Car and Winston the Amazing Dog and my newest book, Boots the Giant Killer, are the results of my own experience living with this challenging illness. Diabetes to me is like a wily opponent that I am constantly trying to out-smart. Sometimes diabetes gets the better of me, but that just challenges me to try harder to beat it - or at least control it. All three books are analogies of what living with diabetes is like. They're geared towards young children and are written in a way that, I hope, will make sense to them. My prayer is that these books will give a child hope that he can live a normal life - just with a few adjustments.
