Diabetes Education - Blank Page Series
The Blank Page: Adding Colorful Purpose to Type 1 Diabetes is a book AND activity guide designed to help children understand Type 1 Diabetes, develop coping skills, and discover a hopeful perspective.
In this story, the book pages themselves take on life as our two main characters. We are introduced to "the Blank Page", a character who shares their emotions and experiences through colors, lines, and textures.
When a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis leaves a messy mark on the Blank Page, it wonders if any beauty can come from it. With the guidance of a mentor, "the Teacher Page," the Blank page finds hope.
This book, along with the concluding activity guide which includes 10+ therapeutic activities to further coping, helps children learn about diabetes in a child-friendly manner, fostering a greater sense of empowerment and courage.

The Blank Page books are such a valuable resource for child life specialists, caregivers, teachers, and more. Providing children with an interactive and developmentally appropriate way to learn about a new diagnosis makes it less scary and easier to understand. I am confident that these books will help children gain control of their illness (while also having fun!)
The Blank for Diabetes is so informative while also being validating and easy to understand! It’s amazing for building language around a very difficult topic in a time when it can be hard to find words.
I can’t tell you how much I love this product! A diabetes diagnosis or any diagnosis can be scary. This book has just the right info to explain what is difficult to understand about diabetes. Plus, it’s colorful and fun!

Allie’s resources are thoughtful, engaging, holistic, and educational! She takes time to walk through the process that keeps kids engaged and eager to learn to more. Her recourses open doors for more discussion in regards to the diagnosis and the emotional well being of children. So grateful for her attention to detail and her evident care in each book!
