Is It Lonely to Be A Four-Leaf Clover

Is It Lonely to be a Four-Leaf Clover is the first children's book by 13X Paralympic Medalist and the first "nearly unassisted" paraplegic to summit Mt Kilimanjaro, Chris Waddell. Also illustrated by the author, it is about a four-leaf clover that attempts to hide what makes it different and special until it meets a dandelion, which never hides. The two fall in love and the four-leaf clover carries the baby, but the question remains, what will it look like? Originally, Waddell wrote and drew this book as a birthday present for his wife Jean Oelwang, a child at heart and a huge fan of the fierce and bold dandelion. Children's books gained a significant space in Chris's life when he took a fantasy class his senior spring at Deerfield Academy. He still gives The Little Prince, one of the books he read that semester, to friends when they have children. His mother inspired him to write his own books when after his Kilimanjaro summit she told him that he should write one on the climb. That book, Too Hard for You, was the first that he wrote, but he's still working on the drawings. Look for it soon.
