When Tabby the cat starts feeling tired, thirsty, and just not like himself, he pays a visit to the wise Dr. Bee. Together they discover that Tabby has diabetes – and that it’s nothing to fear.
With warmth, humor, and gentle rhymes, the story walks young readers through what diabetes is, how insulin works, and how monitoring, food choices, and everyday care can help a child (or a curious cat!) feel like themselves again.
