Mindy Dwyer's retelling of a Northwest coyote legend allows readers young and old to meet that same colorful and wily creature, but this time made vulnerable himself by love. Coyote in Love is a tale of love and the way things came to be. Children will be entranced as they hear of the antics of Coyote as he sings to the heavens in pursuit of the love of a star. They'll also learn from the Old Ones how a lake with never-ending depth and the bluest waters of Oregon's Crate Lake was formed by a flood of tears from heartbroken Coyote. This appealing legend is matched by the bright, whimsical watercolor images of Coyote.
The Dog Who Wouldn't Be
One day, in a remote Canadian frontier town on the edge of a prairie, adventure arrived at their doorstep of the Mowat family. It came in the form of a black-and-white mongrel, snapped up for four cents by young Farley's frugal mother, and was quickly named by Farley, to his father’s chagrin, “Mutt”. Mutt turned out to be a game changer, a dog of formidable character. He not only possessed extraordinary skills as a retriever (once going so far as to retrieve a plucked and trussed ruffed grouse from the grocer), but was a determined cat-hater, skunk-baiter, and ladder-scaler. He was the perfect companion for a boy with a fertile imagination.
