Introducing Maggie!
This week is exciting in the Munson household for many reasons but none more so than the introduction of Maggie Martin.
Maggie is a spunky, sweet, and fun-loving six year old girl who learns, after a series of unfortunate events, that she has type one diabetes.
I started this book late last year after gentle encouragement from my husband and friends. I have always found great solace and strength in writing and I can think of no other subject more worthy of my time and talents.
As a teacher and homeschooling mama, I depend on rich literary resources from all across the world to introduce my children to the the beautiful intricacies and diversity our world has to offer. There are a few really great type one diabetes resources out there, and I'll share more about them in future posts, but the selection is quite sparse and at times, very unrealistic.
There were times I wanted to give up, especially during the illustration stage, but I am so proud of this work and so excited to introduce the world to this series. So, here is Maggie! All the hard work, sweat, and tears has paid off.
It is my hope to get it live on Amazon and other book distributors, likes Barnes and Noble, in the next few weeks. It will also be available on Kindle, too.
Stay tuned!!!! And, yes, I definitely think there will be a sequel.
Soldier on, T1D warriors,
Kim
