Fred & Marjorie: A Doctor, a Dog, and the Discovery of Insulin
by Deborah Kerbel (Author) and Angela Poon (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: In 1921, Frederick Banting was a young doctor with an idea: could the mysterious secretions of the pancreas be used to treat diabetes? We now call this substance insulin, and its life-saving discovery was an impactful milestone in medical science.

Banting and his assistant, Charles Best, worked together in a small lab to test the theory with street dogs. Banting formed a special bond with one of his test dogs and gave her a name: Marjorie. After Marjorie responded well to insulin treatments, the treatments went on to be used for humans with diabetes–and the results were deemed practically miraculous.
