Synopsis

Lucie and Stargold are back and they are going to Growland again! This time, they are bringing Brody, Lucie’s best friend, who has diabetes. One day, Lucie finds her best friend Brody sitting all alone on the curb, looking rather unwell. She takes him to see the school nurse. When the nurse helps Brody deal with his high blood sugars, Lucie learns that he has Type I Diabetes. While she is surprised that her best friend kept such a secret from her, Lucie also tries to understand what diabetes is... but the whole thing is so confusing that yes, you guessed it, Stargold the Food Fairy appears to whisk them away to her magic land. In Growland, the fairy will help both children to make sense of it all. Lucie and Brody will learn that Brody’s body works differently. They will also learn how Type I Diabetes is managed and how to cope with periods of hypoglycaemia, hyperglycaemia as well as negative feelings towards having to deal with such an illness. Read Lucie, Brody, and the Food Fairy to find out why Brody has kept his diabetes secret from his best friend until now.

About this title

About the Author

The author herself will tell you that she is not a writer. “I cannot write – not even in my mother tongue (French), and I certainly cannot draw.” She, however, does possess a gift - that of finding competent people within her own surroundings and convincing them to help her in her mission to teach kids about nutrition. Claudia discovered her illustrator in 2013 on the day she picked up her son Justin from day camp who came to the door with facepaint on. He had a 3D shark splashing out of water literally coming out of his left cheek. The camp counselor, Chris Hamilton, had drawn on the children’s faces to kill time at the end of the day while they were waiting for the late parents. Claudia was so impressed that she asked him if he would be the illustrator for her book. Her first book editor Katy Quévillon was the mother of her son’s new friend at school Her book fixer was her husband, Peter Zakrzewski Her website developer, Doug Mckinnon, was a web specialist who previously worked on one of her other projects. Her book inspiration came from her two children, Justin and Amelie, and their insistence at always asking why. Because of the huge success of Stargold the Food Fairy, Claudia wrote a second story about Lucie's friend who has type 1 Diabetes.
