Helping Kids Feel Seen & Supported

I’ve had the joy of illustrating a series of picture books designed to help children understand and navigate life with type 1 diabetes. These books are part of the Diabetes Doodles project. The mission of Diabetes Doodles is to make diabetes education more approachable, colorful, and even fun.
