Meet Rick.
Rick is just your typical Tick.
The only difference is Rick has just been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. He must now navigate through life despite the hurdles his diagnosis has thrown his way. Rick is just the Tick for the job, and he refuses to let his diabetes slow him down.
From debut author and diabetic John Knight comes a charming characterization of what life is like growing up with diabetes. Everyone has their own struggles, but with proper management, diabetes does not have to be a hindrance to enjoying life to the fullest!
