The printed book

Who this book is for

My Dad Is a Nurse is a coloring book for children aged 4 to 9 whose dad is a nurse. Inside are 34 big pictures of a real working day: getting ready in the morning and heading off to work, the busy, funny and even magical moments of the job, and coming home for the best hugs at the end of the day. Each picture has its own page and bold, simple outlines that are easy for small hands to color. It makes a thoughtful gift for the child of a nurse, and a fun way to talk about the work Dad does every day. Buy the printed book on Amazon, or download the PDF and print it at home as many times as your licence allows.

Great as a Father's Day gift, for healthcare worker appreciation or for community helpers lessons.

About this book

What does Dad do all day? Now kids can color it in!

My Dad Is a Nurse lets children see, and color, their dad's real working day. Every page shows Dad doing his job, from checking heartbeats and taking temperatures to the night shift, the air ambulance and the busy Emergency Department. Plus some silly moments every nurse will recognise, and a few big adventures: a giraffe with a sore throat, a dinosaur check-up and a dragon with a cold.

Inside you'll find:
  • 34 original pictures, each with a big title kids can color too
  • Single-sided pages, so markers won't spoil the next picture
  • A "Meet My Dad" page to draw him and fill in his name and favorite food
  • A "Draw yourself being a nurse" page and a color-in thank-you card for Dad
  • A superhero finale: "My Dad is not just a nurse. He is my superhero!"
  • Large 8.5 x 11 inch pages with bold, easy outlines for ages 4 to 9
A thoughtful gift for Father's Day, Nurses Week, a birthday, or the day Dad finishes his nursing degree. Part of the My Hero at Work series, with a Dad book and a Mom book for every job.
