"Nature Study Buddies is an uplifting children’s picture book lovingly written by Charlene McIver.

​Charlene narrates an optimistic story about diversity and friendship. Leigh is a child with a disability and has to use a wheelchair to move around. Because of this, he cannot take part in all the activities that able-bodied kids can.

Charlene’s message is hopeful and encouraging as she shows that just because you might have some limitations, you can still have fun and contribute equally. ​Claudia Gadotti illustrates the study buddies’ adventures. Her watercolor drawings are soft and beautiful to bring out the emotional message of the story.

​This is a wonderful book for any child to read, feel special, and learn about inclusivity, confidence, and friendship."
