“In this picture book from the Pulitzer Prize winner and her daughter, two youngsters embark on adventures. Three relationships subtly unfold in this captivating tale: coyotes and their world, Diana and her grandfather, and other humans and Earth’s remaining wilderness...Richly detailed paintings provide a vivid virtual forest visit and breathtaking close-ups of the coyotes.

A splendid, gentle introduction to environmental activism.”

“A blueprint for change and an argument for hope, Coyote's Wild Home elegantly weaves together the stories of two young woodland adventurers — a coyote and a child.

Wise, timely, and tender, this is a must-read love letter to the natural world."

"This gentle and generous story guides readers through what bonds humans and animals—and conveys the respect we owe to the natural world."

“A story of two families, one human, one coyote, and the world we share. There is much to learn here . . . and much to feel. Lily and Barbara Kingsolver's text and Paul Mirocha's paintings present an experience of the wild you will carry with you for a long time.”

 “This lushly illustrated book (with its gorgeous endpapers!) draws us into the separate lives of a playful coyote pup and a curious child as they each venture into the forest for the first time. The story deftly raises important questions—Can we adapt to change? Can we better understand how humans and animals intersect with one another? —and offers ways to coexist.”

“I can’t recommend Coyote’s Wild Home enough. It’s fabulous! This is a great choice for teachers. Below is a short list of conversation starters or teachable moments: tracking prints & scat, animal behavior, how coyotes communicate, predators, and ecosystems.  It encourages young children to love and respect nature and wild animals. It briefly covers conservation and how we, as humans, can all play our part in preserving their habitats.  I love the realistic animal and nature illustrations. They’re gorgeous and could easily be sold as prints.  I’m impressed with this book and the fun facts, and I hope it becomes a series.”

“This is an absolute must-buy for me.  I have a Master’s in teaching, and so books that help me teach my son (who is three) or my daughter (who is 12) are what I am always looking for. Books about environmentalism, ecology, and being good to Mother Earth are our focus right now. This book falls into all of those categories. It teaches about sustainable land harvest, about how to treat wild animals, and it is especially well-written. I am a huge fan of the topic, Coyotes, since they are much maligned. The art is exceptional. I know my son is going to love to read this, and that it is likely going to end up being on his “read it again” books list.  You will not go wrong with this book. This might be Lily’s first work, but it won’t be her last, and I am already a fan!”

“I loved this book! Parallel stories of a little girl spending time with her grandfather in nature and learning her first lessons, and of a coyote pup on his first hunt with his auntie. The description of the coyote’s loving family unit, how a pup learns what to do, and the difficulties facing coyotes (and other animals) as more wild areas are taken over by humans were told simply but with important details. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. I will recommend this book to everyone in my library, and probably give many copies away as gifts!”
