Nurse Florence, Tell Me About the Bones follows three friends who, after seeing a classmate recovering from a broken arm, ask the school nurse about how broken bones heal. What was the inspiration for your story?

​Simply, it was time to write a book about bones.  Bones are amazing and kids should know how they work.

You provide a lot of interesting information and present difficult concepts in a way that is understandable to even those outside the medical field. Did you find anything in your research of this story that surprised you?

Eating nuts and seeds are also good for your bones.

How do you hope your work will impact your readers?

There is a nursing shortage in the United States and it continues to grow.  We need more kids interested in the health professions.  I hope to make health information accessible for all so that many, many people will consider a career in the health sciences.  The health professions are very challenging for many reasons, and we need capable minds pursuing jobs in these fields.  I hope these books help prepare more future scientists.

What is the next book that you are working on, and when will it be available?

In 2023, we published a book every 10 days.  In 2024, we have accelerated to a new Nurse Florence® book every 5 days.  We have also launched a mental health series for teenagers and adults titled Nurse Dorothea.  We publish a new Nurse Dorothea every 5 weeks.  The next book is published in order of completed drawings so I kind of never know which will be the next.  I have about 30 other children’s book series in mind and hope one day to be a full-time author so that I can write three books a day.  This is a lot of fun for me.
