Every school nurse has seen it: the sudden "mystery stomachache" that appears right before math class, the dramatic fainting spell in the hallway, the endless parade of bumps, bruises, and excuses. In Nurse Dawn Doesn't Do Drama: The Mystery Stomachache, veteran school nurse Dawn finally tells the truth-through rhymes, laughs, and one very sassy llama. Meet Jimmy, a student who always seems to feel "sick" at the most convenient times. This time, his stomachache is so dramatic it even catches the attention of Lulu the Drama Llama, who never misses a chance for theatrics. Nurse Dawn, calm in her black scrubs and thick glasses, has seen it all before. With her no-nonsense wit and gentle care, she sorts out what's real, what's exaggerated, and what's just plain silly. Written with humor, honesty, and heart, this first book in the Nurse Dawn Doesn't Do Drama series shines a playful light on the everyday antics inside a school nurse's office. The story captures the balance every nurse must strike: compassion for students, patience for parents, and a firm refusal to get lost in the drama. Perfect for children ages 5-9, this rhyming picture book will have kids giggling, parents nodding in recognition, and teachers cheering for Nurse Dawn's straight-talk style. With colorful illustrations, memorable characters, and a rhythm that begs to be read aloud, it's both entertaining and educational-showing children the difference between real symptoms and excuses while celebrating the important role of school nurses. At the end of the book, a special "Note to Grown-Ups" offers practical tips for parents and teachers: how to spot when a child might truly be unwell, and when a visit to the nurse is more about avoiding class than needing care. Nurse Dawn Doesn't Do Drama: The Mystery Stomachache is a laugh-out-loud, relatable, and refreshingly honest addition to the world of children's literature-perfect for classrooms, homes, and, of course, nurse's offices everywhere.
