Curious Questions

Michael Dow Author Interview

Nurse Florence, Tell Me About Adipose Tissue follows three girls talking with the school nurse at lunch, who want to learn what purpose body fat serves in keeping the body working. Why was this an important book for you to write?

The Nurse Florence® series explores the curious questions that people have about the body, so this book serves to answer the questions some may have about adipose or fat tissue.

With the human body being so complex, and some areas doing many jobs, how do you determine what medical facts to include in your books?

Sometimes, it’s just intuition about what should be included and what should be left out.  All of the books can’t be 100 pages long, so we just have to choose to cover different concepts in multiple books.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

I was surprised to learn myself that adipose tissue produces some hormones, so if I thought that was interesting, then I thought others would find that interesting as well.

What is one thing that you hope readers take away from Nurse Florence, Tell Me About Adipose Tissue?

The human body is complicated, and it’s ok to learn new things about the body for all our lives.

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.
