Kids can get interactive with the Nurse Florence® children's coloring book series, winner in the NYC Big Book Award®

Michael Dow, RN, MS, MHA, MSM receives international recognition through the NYC Big Book Award® for his work: Nurse Florence® children's coloring book series.

BROOKLYN, NY, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- It started with how to make the word "Polymicrogyria" less intimidating and more understandable.

Michael Dow, RN, MS, MHA, MSM, a nurse himself, believes that nurses are uniquely qualified to bridge the gap from technical medical information to a level of understanding that any ordinary person can grasp. The importance of Dow's work is that the Nurse Florence^® book series provides high-quality medical information in an easy-to-understand format. By introducing young children to correct terminology and science concepts at an early age, Dow feels that we can help increase our children's health literacy level as well as help to prepare them for courses and jobs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). For this reason, the Nurse Florence^® Educational Series by Michael Dow, RN, MS, MHA, MSM was recognized as the 2023 winner in the category of Children's Educational Series by the INDEPENDENT PRESS AWARD.

Now with the Nurse Florence^® coloring book series, kids can get interactive.
