Who is my School Nurse?: A Rhyming Children's Book About School Nurses, Health, and Everyday Heroes

In this heartwarming rhyming picture book, children learn that school nurses:

✅ Check fevers, scrapes, bumps, and bruises with gentle care
✅ Keep their cabinets stocked with bandages, ice packs, and first aid supplies

✅ Call families when a child needs extra care at home
✅ Watch over the playground, lunchroom, and halls to keep everyone safe
