About This Book
"Nurse Clementine" by Simon James is a heartwarming and humorous picture book about a young girl who receives a first-aid kit for her birthday and enthusiastically embraces her new role as the family nurse.

The story gently explores themes of sibling relationships, care-taking, and the imaginative play of childhood, culminating in a sweet resolution that highlights family bonds. It's perfect for children aged 4-8, offering a lighthearted look at responsibility and the joy of helping others.
