Description

Join Zuri and her friend Jayden as they play together in the snow. Follow along as Zuri explains how she safely manages her type 1 diabetes and how her monitor helps her track her blood sugar levels. With a focus on social and emotional learning (SEL), tightly controlled vocabulary, and bright, fun illustrations to match the storyline and enhance empathy, children will learn about inclusion in a supportive educational fiction reading experience. Children can learn more about diabetes using Fact Surfer, our safe online search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. This book also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a glossary, an index, and a table of contents. Grasshopper Books offers simple, fun fiction for emerging readers. Snow Friends is part of Jump!'s Celebrating All Friends series.

Kirsten McDonald

Kirsten McDonald currently lives in the mountains of North Carolina where she worked for 17 years as the librarian at an elementary school filled with students like the ones you’ll meet in her stories.

Kirsten gained her expertise bottle feeding lambs, harnessing horses, and running from roosters while working on a farm at a summer camp, and her pro-wrestling knowledge is courtesy of a black and white TV equipped with rabbit ears and a large piece of aluminum foil. She explored seas, lakes, and swamps all over the world, and although she hasn't yet been swimming with a Benvarry or discovered a ghost guarding treasure, she keeps hoping.
