My grandparents were Irish immigrants who settled in St. Joseph, MO. I moved with my family to Phoenix, AZ as a teenager, where I graduated from Xavier High School and fulfilled my dream of being a nurse when I graduated from St. Joseph&#8217;s Hospital School of Nursing. I worked for Indian Health Service in Gallup, NM for 21 years, followed by more years of nursing in different areas of healthcare. I was honored with various nursing excellence awards during those years, my favorite being chosen by my staff as the &#8220;Rise and Shine Star&#8221; of the month. I collaborated with medical staff in publishing a Growth and Development manual for the Pediatric department for parents. While working in Indian Health Service, I assisted a nurse practitioner in writing a diabetes manual for Native Americans. What a wonderful experience! During my many years of nursing I experienced countless reactions to good news, sad news and tragic news. I decided to write a book that I hope will encourage parents, teachers and other adults to discuss crying with young children to help remove the confusion and uncertainty around &#8220;why people cry.&#8221; More Adventures are planned, exploring current topics in a way children can be helped to understand and learn from them.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b12d4e9 animated-slow elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"b12d4e9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;rollIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6e0257c exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"6e0257c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c4b3a8 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"9c4b3a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64345b2 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"64345b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sbpra.net\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/sbprabooks.com\/mollyorourke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1473\/2023\/05\/sbpsvg-removebg-preview.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-pulse-shrink attachment-large size-large wp-image-17\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sbprabooks.com\/mollyorourke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1473\/2023\/05\/sbpsvg-removebg-preview.png 160w, https:\/\/sbprabooks.com\/mollyorourke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1473\/2023\/05\/sbpsvg-removebg-preview-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Visit Strategic Book Publishing<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the Author I was born in Kansas City, MO.
