I love this series, teaching kids history in a fun way. As a nurse, I have learned much about Florence and how she changed modern nursing but don’t remember hearing about it as a child. On the whole, I loved this book. The illustrations were adorable, but I did at times find it hard to figure out which one Florence was, usually when she was in her green coat or a different outfit since all the faces were the same. I also didn’t love how it made it seem like sunlight and cleanliness is what saved the soldiers, but more that she kept them from getting over diseases that way. The timeline at the end makes it much clearer.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher, Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children’s Books, for the advanced digital copy of Florence Nightingale.

The Little People, BIG DREAMS series is an empowering series that gives children (and even adults!) the opportunity to learn about important people who contributed to our history. It should be a must read for everyone!

I loved this one about Florence Nightingale! I’m sorry to say that I didn’t really know much about her until I read this book. I knew she was a nurse and took care of soldiers but this was about. In a short 32 pages I learned all about her life. Highly recommend to quickly learn about important historical figures.

This is one of the better recent titles in this series! It has great art, and a good level of information. I've found some of the more recent titles to be a little choppily told, but this one was a clear and consistent story.
