Coyote's Wild Home - Barbara Kingsolver

Descriere Coyote's Wild Home - Barbara Kingsolver

\n \n \n New York Times best-selling author Barbara Kingsolver and environmental educator Lily Kingsolver collaborate on their first children's book, Coyote's Wild Home. The book takes us into the woods, meadows, and streams of an Appalachian forest where a girl and a coyote pup each find their first woodland adventures. On their separate journeys into the wilderness with a beloved family member, the quietly intertwined paths of child and coyote will surprise and enchant young readers. \n\n On young Diana's camping trip with her grandfather, he shows her how to read the signs of all the other animals who make their homes in the forest. When the distant howl of coyotes frightens her, Grandpa explains that they're not interested in hunting humans, just talking to each other. As he and Diana explore the woods together, Grandpa helps her understand the important work predators do in keeping the wilderness healthy. \n\n Meanwhile, Coyote Pup follows his aunt through the woods, imitating her every move, hoping to catch his dinner. When they watch Grandpa and Diana from a distance, he feels afraid, but Auntie steers him clear of humans, directing his attention instead toward mice and voles. With lessons in patience, listening, and following his nose, it's a day of big tasks for a small pup. \n\n In Coyote's Wild Home, authors Lily Kingsolver and Barbara Kingsolver, both trained biologists, have created an homage to their beloved Appalachian home. With its richly detailed illustrations and gentle biology lessons, this story of two young explorers invites readers to imagine wilderness as a place to be protected, loved, and shared. \n\n \n\n \n\n
