Description

Florence Nightingale was not the kind of girl who was expected to follow a traditional path. Growing up in an upper-class family, she was told that her future lay in finding a husband and living a life of luxury. But Florence had other plans. She was drawn to caring for the sick and the poor, and she trained to be a nurse. As she traveled to care for wounded soldiers, Florence was shocked by the poor conditions in the hospitals. The dirt and neglect were making the patients sick, and she knew she had to do something about it. Her experience sparked a revolution in healthcare, and she became a pioneer in the field of nursing. This inspiring book tells the story of Florence Nightingale's remarkable life, featuring stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back. A biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of her life are also included, making this a great choice for children who want to learn about the lives of outstanding people.
