Four Leaf Clovers | A CLOVES Syndrome Story

Hello! Thank you for visiting the Four Leaf Clovers fundraiser page! My name is Lauren Beauregard and I'm the author of Four Leaf Clovers, a picture book for young children living with CLOVES Syndrome. 

The story of Four Leaf Clovers draws parallels between children with CLOVES Syndrome and those without, focusing on acceptance, inclusion, and diversity. Four Leaf Clovers strives to not only illustrate acceptance but to shine a light on some simple ways being different can have its benefits. While it was written with CLOVES Syndrome in mind, Four Leaf Clovers is truly a story about embracing differences of all kinds. 

Four Leaf Clovers was written in collaboration with Kristen Davis, Executive Director of CLOVES Syndrome Community, and beautifully illustrated by artist Kate Fitzpatrick. 

I've been an author of novel-length fiction for over ten years, but Four Leaf Clovers is my first experience writing children's fiction.  The author in me has been thrilled with the challenge of writing for a young audience, and with seeing my words come to life through Kate's incredible illustrations.  The true joy of this experience, however, has been in telling stories like my daughter's and seeing features like hers represented in the artwork. As the mom of a young daughter with CLOVES Syndrome, it has truly been a honor to be part of this project.

Four Leaf Clovers is scheduled to release in early June. Funds raised through this fundraiser will allow CLOVES Syndrome Community to print copies of the book and provide free and/or reduced cost copies to families who can't pay the full cover price. 

Please help us spread the word about this fundraiser and the book! 

Thank you for reading!
