In our latest episode, join us as we welcome illustrator Kelsey Tone, who has beautifully illustrated four books in the Nurse Florence series by Michael Dow. Kelsey shares her personal and emotional journey of having a daughter with end-stage renal failure, which inspired her to transition from being a middle school science teacher to an artist. Listen in as she emphasizes the importance of mental health and the crucial role of a strong support network during challenging times. The Nurse Florence series, with Kelsey's personal touch, does an amazing job of educating children about serious medical conditions in a digestible and less frightening manner.
Kelsey also talks about her work on the Dunbar Five concept, a theory that proposes we have five best friends, and its application to children's friendships and adventures. As we explore her work on the Nurse Florence series, Kelsey discusses the range of medical topics these award-winning books cover, from how fingernails grow to what a heart attack is. She underlines the necessity of having resources to demystify these conditions for children. The episode also highlights the website NurseFlorence.org, a valuable tool for parents and educators seeking to access these books and learn more about the series.
