Little People, Big Dreams: Florence Nightingale
Discover More Hardback
In this Little People, BIG DREAMS biography, children discover the remarkable life of Florence Nightingale—the woman who helped shape modern nursing. Born into an upper-class family, Florence was expected to marry and live a life of comfort, but she chose a different path: caring for the sick and the poor, and training as a nurse despite the expectations around her.
When the Crimean War broke out, Florence travelled to nurse wounded soldiers and was shocked by the dirty hospital conditions that were making people even more ill. Determined to change things, she led a healthcare revolution—introducing care practices and standards that still influence nursing today. With stylish, quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a timeline and historical photos, it’s an inspiring introduction to a true changemaker.
