The Children’s Book Review
“Author and pediatric nurse, Sheri Sturniolo, does terrific work of using creative rhymes to highlight her job and each states she visits. Not only are readers provided insight into what a traveling pediatric nurse does, but they learn a little about each state visited in a fun and entertaining way. Shay Larby does a fantastic job illustrating this story and readers will be drawn in looking for the vignettes she has provided on each page. Each reading of the story offers the chance to see something new. Tales of a Traveling Nurse: Is This My Home? is an informative story you will want to keep on your bookshelf. Readers old and young will find this book very engaging and have so much fun poring over the artwork.”
Midwest Book Review
“With the publication of Tales of a Traveling Nurse: Is This My Home?, young children will enjoy following Nanette, the little traveling nurse, on her journey to care for children across the country who find themselves needing a nurse's love. Tales of a Traveling Nurse is a fun and interactive look into the adventurous profession of travel nursing while also highlighting the importance of child safety and accident prevention. As entertaining as it is informative, Tales of a Traveling Nurse: Is This My Home? by the team of author/storyteller Sheri Sturniolo and artist/illustrator Shay Larby is especially and unreservedly recommended for family, elementary school, and community library Jobs/Careers picture book collections.”
Katie Reviews Books
“The strength of Sturniolo’s book is that it features a career choice with which young children may be unfamiliar. The idea of a part nurse/part explorer is made concrete (and exciting!) in this book. The rhyming nature of the book adds to the feeling of movement central to the idea of a traveling nurse. A cute look at a career path that is underrepresented in children’s literature, Tales of a Traveling Nurse earns four stars.”
Entertainment Report
“It’s just what the doctor ordered, a most delightful interactive children’s book that follows Nanette, a young nurse travels across the country caring for wee ones who find themselves needing a nurse’s love. A must-have prescription for fun, facts and educational filled journeys!”
