Florence Nightingale

40 pp. | Holt | February, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9729-0 $17.99
(3) K-3 A straightforward text of declarative sentences describes Florence Nightingale's childhood, training, service in Crimean War hospitals, and lifelong crusade to reform nursing and health care. The true draw of this clear picture book biography, however, is Demi's simple line-drawn illustrations with collage elements: close reader attention will reveal rats, chamber pots, leaky roofs, and other engrossing details. Reading list, timeline.
