The Challenge of Childhood Diabetes, signed Laura Plunkett and Linda Weltner Paperback

"Many books cross my desk in the course of a week (six today, four yesterday). Not surprisingly, most of them will never make it onto your radar screen, and frankly, it's for good reason.

But every once in a while, a book comes along that deserves some attention. "The Challenge of Childhood Diabetes, Family Strategies for Raising a Healthy Child" is one of them. Even if you don't have a child with diabetes, chances are you know someone who does ... This book is terrific."
