Welcome to The Nature Club

The Nature Club books invite you to explore the outdoors with Izzy, Tai, Brooke, Zack, and Miguel. Through their adventures, they learn to help the wildlife they love while helping each other with the challenges of growing up.

Will Brooke kick her candy habit?

When Brooke's eyesight gets blurry, her skin breaks out, and her energy lags, she shrugs it off. Her eating habits might not be the greatest, but she can't imagine giving up sweets. Meanwhile, an animal starts tipping over trash cans at night, and Brooke and her Nature Club friends hatch a plan to find the culprit. They are surprised by what they find--and even more surprised to learn Brooke is partly to blame. As Brooke's story unfolds--along with that of an animal she names Ocho--she learns that by taking a few simple actions, one can start to break bad habits. With her Nature Club friends, Brooke vows to improve her own health while protecting local wildlife.

"The Everywhere Bear is a wonderful recipe for inspiring youth to learn about the wild animals that live amongst us--and the simple steps we can take to keep them safe."
