The story is told through the two main characters, a "Kid" and a "Cat," who learn to live with the "highs" and "lows" of their diabetes. The characters' mirror images and the sequence of events teach children they are not alone. Readers realize that they can achieve their heart's desire and overcome obstacles, turning them into life-long opportunities. Through the characters' perspective, readers learn detailed information about T1D and T2D, how they are diagnosed and managed through medication, education, diet, and exercise.
