What is Diabetes? by Xylina Cassandra follows Boss Frog as he figures out why his Uncle Raul isn’t feeling right. When Uncle Raul starts feeling tired, thirsty, and has tingly hands and feet, Boss Frog steps up. He calls Dr. Fayron and learns that Uncle Raul has diabetes.
Dr. Fayron explains what diabetes means, what insulin does, and how Uncle Raul can keep his sugar in a healthy range. Boss Frog listens, takes notes, and plans to help. He’s ready to help cook better meals, skip the sodas, and take walks with his uncle.
This story shows how family, care, and teamwork make a difference. It’s honest, funny, and shows that even kids can help adults with real-life problems. What is Diabetes? teaches about health in a way that feels like a conversation, not a lecture.
By the end, Uncle Raul learns that kids understand more than adults sometimes think, and Boss Frog proves that age doesn’t stop anyone from helping out.
