Announcement Title: Lilly Diabetes and Disney Custom Books for Type 1 Diabetes
Families Now Available Online
Lilly Diabetes and Disney are pleased to announce new resources for type 1 families
that combine the expertise of Lilly Diabetes with the magic of Disney. Now, our first four
custom books for children and families with type 1 diabetes are available online. These
digital books can be accessed on our www.T1EverydayMagic.com, a new website
designed specifically for type 1 families, brought to you by the Lilly Diabetes and Disney
collaboration.
Previously only available through a pediatric endocrinologist office, the books can now
be enjoyed free of charge on a desktop or tablet. The books explore real-life challenges
and success stories children face in managing type 1 diabetes such as participating in
sporting activities, birthday parties and other social events. A snapshot of the books
includes:
• Coco and Goofy’s Goofy Day—This book features Coco, a fun-loving young monkey
with type 1 diabetes, and her exploits with Mickey Mouse and his friends. An exclusive
read-along audio version of the book is also available online
• ESPN: Up for the Challenge—Explores managing diabetes and everyday activities,
including sports, from the perspective of a tween girl
• ESPN: Power Forward—Follows the progression of a tween boy through diagnosis of
type 1 diabetes and the reestablishment of a normal routine, including after-school
activities
• The site also features recipes taken from the Disney cookbook, Dishing It Up Disney
Style, complete with diabetes-friendly recipes, including carb counts
This is only the beginning! We encourage families to check back to the site regularly, as
we continue to roll out the full collection of Lilly Diabetes and Disney books.
