My Health Is My Treasure: A Guide for Living Well With Diabetes (English)

Description

Diabetes is a common but complicated health condition facing agricultural workers within the United States. To help assist agricultural workers in learning about this diagnosis, this low-literacy comic book explores the topic through the full-color story of an agricultural farmworker named Goyo. His recent diagnosis of diabetes prompts him to engage in conversations with other agricultural workers on topics of diet, exercise, and illness prevention while facing the unique hurdles of living a life of migration. The comic book was originally produced in Spanish and is now available in English.
