Overview

Strong Like J is a heartfelt children's picture book that celebrates courage, resilience, and strength in the face of Type 1 Diabetes. J is an 8-year-old kid who loves running fast, building things, being outside, and dogs. He is just like other kid - and he is also learning how to manage Type 1 Diabetes. Through simple, reassuring language and bold, engaging illustrations, this story follows J as he learns to check his blood sugar, take insulin, and face challenges with bravery and determination. This book helps children understand that having diabetes is not their fault and that being different does not mean being weak. Instead, Strong Like J shows young readers that strength can look like doing hard things, asking for help, and continuing to dream big. In addition to supporting children living with diabetes, Strong Like J also serves as an educational tool for families, classrooms, and communities. It gently explains what Type 1 Diabetes is, how kids manage it every day, and how friends can offer kindness and support. A portion of the proceeds from this book helps raise money for a Diabetic Alert Dog, providing an added layer of safety and independence for children with Type 1 Diabetes. Written by J and his mom, Strong Like J is a story of hope, awareness, and empowerment - reminding every child that they are brave, capable, and never alone.
