Dybo Boy

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with Zaki, a young boy who is diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and becomes the hero of his own story…Dybo Boy!

Zaki hasn’t felt like himself for very long,
His parents know something is drastically wrong.
He keeps feeling dizzy and is drinking lots.
He visits the doctor with his stomach in knots.

They look at the boy and mumble of powers,
Of strengths great enough to lift clocktowers.
He is sent to HQ where he discovers his uniqueness,
for Type 1 Diabetes is a gift, not a weakness!

A beautifully illustrated storybook for young children with Type 1 Diabetes, Dybo Boy shows that Zaki’s new condition is not a weakness, ailment or chore, but a strength, power and something to fight for.

This book empowers children to use their new gift for good, learning how to manage their diabetes effectively so they can continue to help others with their superpowers. Written for children as young as 3 years old to easily understand this life-changing condition, Type 1 Diabetes is presented in an easy and simplistic way, with vivid illustrations to invoke excitement in any child recently diagnosed. This book allows kids to overcome their fear of Type 1 Diabetes and look towards all the fun possibilities out there. Zaki discovers just how special he really is with this new diagnosis, and how he can use his new-found abilities to help others.
