A page from My Mummy is a Footballer which shows a crowd playing music, with the rhymes which say: My mummy is a footballer! Her team are on the up. We will score so many goals, And then we’ll lift the cup!

A page from My Daddy is a Nurse which shows nurses sitting and taking notes, playing and studying, with the rhymes which say: My daddy is a nurse. He shares his happiness and strength. And when it comes to health care, He’ll go to any length.

🎶In Poetry Month we express our glee
of verses that bring us joy,
So it’s only fair today that we
share our rhymes for girls and boys!🎶

A colourful page from My Daddy is a Nurse, showing the titular Dad with his daughter, standing under a palm tree, watching another overseas nurse sail, a plane fly and a kangaroo jump. The text says: ‘My daddy is a nurse, his work takes him near and far. Working with children and adults, from Australia to Zanzibar.

#OverseasNHSWorkersDay gives us all the chance to recognise and thank the incredible dedication of NHS staff working abroad – as well as note the vital inspiration they provided for My Daddy is a Nurse!
