About the Author: Co-author Patricia Branigan is a writer, graphic designer, gardener, and mom to three amazing almost grown people. She is a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor. She loves to teach people both young and old all about taking care of their mental health. Co-author Beth Buttery is a busy mom and educator. After her daughter’s type 1 diagnosis, they struggled with their new normal and searched for support groups and knowledge to help them cope. They found there weren’t many books specifically for kids dealing with type 1 and especially for kids who love fantasy and adventure. So Beth teamed up with her friend and author, Patricia to create their adventure series where kids can tackle real-life issues in a fun, fantastical way.
