Rosie Becomes a Warrior

Julie Flaherty

“Rosie Becomes a Warrior” is a children’s story designed to empower children with type 1 diabetes to live their happiest lives, written by an author who has lived with type 1 diabetes for almost 20 years herself. “Rosie Becomes a Warrior” follows the story of Rosie as she navigates her type 1 diabetes diagnosis with her parents. Rosie is a second-grader with bright green eyes and beautiful red hair who loves to draw, eat ice cream, and spend time with her best friends. In this children’s book, Rosie learns from doctors, meets new friends along the way, and finds the bright side of type 1 diabetes.

Review from Connor, age nine:
• Pictures with lots of colors
• Easy to understand
• Felt that it jumped around topics a bit
• “I really liked the book”

Summary from Marissa Town, BSN, RN, CDCES:
• Informative, yet cheerful approach
• Good combination of “normal” kid stuff + diabetes info
• Don’t love the use of “good” related to blood sugars
• Overall would recommend
