This is a fun, upbeat story about a little car that meets a new challenge in life and is able to overcome it. Rudy, The Little Red Sports Car, is not feeling well one day and his owner Bob takes him into a garage for a checkup. Bob learns that he has to make some adjustments in the way he drives it. Rudy's automatic transmission (the pancreas) is broken and Rudy now has to be driven with a manual transmission, and he also needs a special additive to run again (insulin). There are many parallels to diabetes – but the main message in this upbeat tale is that life with diabetes can go on as usual – just with a few adjustments. This book could also be used by an adult with diabetes to help a child understand what an individual with diabetes experiences every day. For questions or comments please email Eleanor at .
