Description
When Romy arrived at school and found herself alone because all her friends were sick, she knew she had to take action. While most children get scared when they fall ill, this rhymed story aims to help them view being sick in a different light. Romy has a secret: she can transform into a doctor and assist those in need. Her trusty partner and assistant is her cat, Seymour; together, they form a fantastic team. In this cleverly rhymed bedtime story, the author offers an entertaining perspective on common childhood illnesses and provides simple and natural ways to cope with them. Both children and parents will delight in the gadgets, creativity, and solidarity displayed by Dr. Romy and Nurse Seymour. Their cool mission is not only fun but also educational, making it a heartwarming read for your little ones, especially when they aren't feeling their best.

This is the perfect book for those kiddos who like to dress up as doctors and nurses, or who might have one as a parent. It reminded me a little bit of the show Doc McStuffens (although with people patients instead of toys), and it also gave good tips for actual things you can do when someone isn't feeling well.

Dr. Romy and Nurse Seymour by Lewis Giles - 5/5
Children's Fiction - Parenting & Families
I love this story. My youngest wants to be a Vet when she grows up, so I see and hear her place Nurse all the time and of course I am a patient among to sea of stuffed animals.
When Romy's class friends are out sick, she comes to their rescue with her doctor skills and assistant, Seymour. The story is fun, the characters are adorable, and this was such a fun read from start to finish.

I loved reading this children's picture book with my kids. It's a charming story about a girl named Romy who loves to play doctor and help her friends feel better. The illustrations are colorful and cute, and the rhymes are fun and catchy. I especially liked that the main character was Latina and even had a Selena poster on the wall. It's great to see more representation and diversity in children's books. This book is a perfect gift for any young reader who enjoys stories about friendship, kindness, and healing.

The greatest duo, Dr. Romy & Nurse Seymour. Romy arrived at school to find that all of her friends were home sick. Since Romy has the ability to heal people she went with her Nurse Seymour to help the sick children of her class get better!

Dr. Romy and Nurse Seymour is a heartwarming and fun read that teaches children about empathy, courage, and the power of helping others. It's a must-have addition to any children's bookshelf, particularly for those times when little ones need a comforting story to lift their spirits.
