I recently illustrated my second book for Poke Prize Press titled Don’t Ignore Grumpy Pumpy: A Type 1 Diabetes Adventure in Avoiding Alarm Fatigue. Prompted by their own daughter’s diagnosis with diabetes, Clint Cargile and Gillian King-Cargile founded Poke Prize Press to publish books about Type 1 Diabetes that are entertaining, informative, and empowering.
From the back cover description:
Type 1 diabetes is a 24/7 condition. With all the highs and lows during the day, it’s easy to get a little grumpy and start ignoring those beeping alarms and buzzing pumps. But your medical devices are trying to tell you something important. All of that beeping and buzzing is there to keep you safe.
Don’t Ignore Grumpy Pumpy tells the story of a little insulin pump with a big attitude and an important message. This book will have your family and caregivers laughing and learning about type 1 diabetes and alarm fatigue.
Diabetes doesn’t have to keep you from being active and doing the things you love. Just remember the rule: Don’t Ignore Grumpy Pumpy!
Don’t Ignore Grumpy Pumpy will be available soon in ebook, paperback, and hardcover formats. Learn more and get updates at pokeprizepress.com.
