My Mommy is a Nurse

Sold on Amazon as My Mommy is a Nurse (US spelling)



You leave before she is properly awake, come home tired, and somewhere along the way she started asking where you go all day. This book answers her, in words she can hold on to.

When she asks her mummy what a nurse does, she is shown: the stethoscope that lets you hear a heart say hello, the sticker for being brave, the corridor full of cards and flowers, and a little boy who is well enough to go home. Nobody in this story is badly hurt and nothing frightening happens. A warm, calm read-aloud about a parent who looks after people, paced for bedtime.
