Abril Escobosa
- WELCOME
Hi!
I’m Abril A. Escobosa Apodaca, born and raised in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. I've been passionate about medicine for as long as I can remember, and I'm currently studying Molecular and Cell Biology with an emphasis in Education at the University of California, Berkeley. My dream is to become a trauma surgeon.
Beyond science, I’m deeply driven by education. I believe that knowledge—when shared with empathy and love—can truly change lives. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to creating projects that help children better understand their bodies, emotions, and health challenges. My mission is to guide them through these experiences and remind them that they are never alone.
I’d love to introduce you to my first book:
The Sweetest Thing About Diabetes – available in both English and Spanish on Kindle.
This story was born from a heartfelt desire to help children understand type 1 diabetes in a simple, loving, and empowering way. In it, you’ll meet Mateo, a brave young boy who has been living with diabetes for three years. During a routine doctor’s visit, he meets Ana, a recently diagnosed girl full of questions and uncertainty. Through their conversation, readers are gently introduced to the science behind diabetes, the importance of proper care, and the healing power of kindness, friendship, and understanding.
The Sweetest Thing About Diabetes is part of a special project close to my heart: The Encyclopedia of My First Diagnosis—a series created to help kids face different health conditions with clarity, warmth, and courage.
If there’s a child in your life living with diabetes—or if you simply want to nurture empathy and awareness—this book is a wonderful place to start.
Thank you for supporting this dream that brings together science, heart, and education.
