About the Author
About the Authors: Richard and Rania Morrill are the proud parents of two boys, Damien and Dylan. They are entrepreneurs and run their own business. Their son Damien was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on May 4, 2004. During the initial time of diagnosis, many new terms were introduced to the family and all of a sudden "carbohydrates" became a subject of talk and discussion at every meal. The authors received their inspiration for the book when they over heard Damien ask Dylan during breakfast one day "Dylan, how many carbs is a booger?" After much laughter over the question, Richard and Rania realized that in the midst of seriousness during the onset of diabetes, there needed to be something funny. That's how they became authors of this book. This book is intended to help kids with diabetes. But in a time of health awareness and struggles with weight issues, it is also intended for all kids who are trying to learn to make healthier choices (and grown ups too). Richard and Rania are committed to doing their part in finding a cure for diabetes. So, a portion of the proceeds form the sale of this book will be donated to research that is committed to the same cause.

Not what I had thought it would be,
By Aunt Nae (Middletown, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How many carbs is a booger? (Paperback)
I purchased this book with my 11 year old nephew in mind who was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I thought that it might bring some humor to his new dietary challenges. It is my opinion that this book is not age appropriate for kids over the age of 7 or maybe 8 years old. I think that I may donate it to a local elementary school or library.

Unique Carb Counts,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How many carbs is a booger? (Paperback)
This book is a unique and original idea on carbohydrate counting meant for children with type 1 (juvenile) diabetes. Although it meets this description, there is little actual writing and no story to engage the reader. The estimated counts for the real food items are fairly accurate, however the unique 'snacks' have imaginary carb counts and are of no help. My son actually thought the book cover illustration was so dismal that he refused to even open the book itself. A link to a website where readers can enter their own disgusting and original ideas of food products allows them to expand their imaginations and adds an extension activity, however I think the book should have remained a website itself.
