"I Am Ari" Volume 2 is about the main character, Ari, getting a continuous glucose monitor. At first Ari is afraid and doesn't want to give the CGM a chance, but after a bit of persuasion she decides to try it out for a few days before she makes any decision, after giving the device a chance she ends up loving it, she loves that she doesn't have to poke her fingers as often and that she doesn't have to stop as often while doing things she enjoys.This book is a great tool to introduce continuous glucose monitoring with elementary aged children, especially those who are interested in getting a CGM but still have some fears about the devices. There are several pictures of a Ari throughout the book to help kids realize they are not alone dealing with this disease, and the book is written in the prospective of Ari, which should also make it easier for children to connect to the main character in that aspect as well. I hope that this book helps the Type 1 child in your life and that they enjoy it, my main goal is to help others living with this disease, especially children. If you purchase this title and enjoyed it please don't forget to leave an honest review, that way other T1D families can easily find this title as well, and we can continue to help other children living with this disease know they're not alone!!! As with my other "I Am Ari" title/titles, ALL proceeds will go towards purchasing a diabetes alert dog for Miss Ari, so your purchase is going directly back into helping a child with diabetes!
