A Tough Subject

Michael Dow Author Interview

Nurse Florence®, What are Signs Something is Wrong with My Kidneys? follows three curious girls chatting with the school nurse at lunch, who want to learn how the kidneys work and what warning signs to look for. What was the inspiration for your story?

I think that in the year 2026, kidneys are still a little bit of a mystery for many people, so I just thought it would be nice to do a book to inform people of the times when they need to see a doctor.

How do you take complex medical terms and turn them into a story that will not overwhelm younger readers and also entertain them to keep them interested in learning more?

It’s the magic of Dow Creative Enterprises® 🙂

What Nurse Florence book has been your favorite one to write so far, and why?

The dementia book with Lindsay Roberts. We tackled a tough subject and still made it very informative. It took 105 drawings to teach the subject and is our longest Nurse Florence®.

If you could give one book to a group of children to introduce them to your series, what book would that be?

The Nurse Florence®, How Does Our Brain Work? book. The brain is fascinating, and we should all have common knowledge about how it works.

Sometimes it seems only a nurse can bring technical information down to an understanding that an ordinary person can grasp. The Nurse Florence(R) book series provides high quality medical information that even a child can grasp. By introducing young kids to correct terminology and science concepts at an early age, we can help increase our children’s health literacy level as well as help to prepare them for courses and jobs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. We need more scientists so I hope that many children will enjoy this book series and consider a job involving science.
