Nurse Purse follows the adventures of a nomadic nurse who travels the globe, offering help to those in need with essentials like food, water, and clothing. Infused with humor, the story centers around a small purse that magically holds a myriad of items, reflecting the way we often know someone—a grandmother, mother, or aunt—who manages to carry an astonishing collection of unusual treasures in their handbag. 

This book is a tribute to healers everywhere and highlights the pressing need for compassionate hearts to address overlooked problems in our world. The narrative emphasizes the synergy between the health and hospitality sectors and advocates for the formation of new NGOs made up of everyday individuals ready to make a difference. 

Written for early and delayed readers, Nurse Purse features rhyming text and a story that begins and ends the same, encouraging young readers to engage repeatedly with the material. In a time when many students struggle with reading, the book delivers the simple message: Small things can solve big problems.
