Wigu Publishing has a new title for the When I grow up I want to be… series. In this story, a young girl
named Amber explores the different jobs of a nurse.
Amber has an accident during a soccer game. The school nurse
tells her mom that Amber needs to go the emergency room. When Amber arrives she
is scared about what is happening and George, the ER nurse, helps to calm her
fears. The book introduces the history of nursing and Florence Nightingale. It
also introduces what jobs nurses can do like take a patient’s vitals and the
different surgical nurses involved in a surgery. There is also a section on how
to overcome your fears and how X-rays work. With the help of X-rays, the doctor
learns that Amber has a broken arm and it must be put in a cast. In no time,
Amber is healed and back on the soccer field.
I enjoy any book which introduces the different types of
jobs that are available to them when they grow up. This book introduced the
different ins and outs of working as a nurse in the medical field. I highly
recommend this book for any school library or family collection as a way to
expose children to different careers as well as familiarize them with the
different people they could come in contact with.The publisher has also announced that current and new titles will be available in Spanish.
