Barbara Kingsolver was trained as a biologist prior to her career as a writer of best-selling novels, poetry, and non-fiction. Her work has earned a devoted readership and major literary awards including the Pulitzer Prize and the National Humanities Medal. She and her husband live on a farm in the mountains of southwestern Virginia, a home they share with sheep, poultry, and countless wild creatures, including coyotes. This is her first book for children. Lily Kingsolver grew up in southwest Virginia, where the Appalachian Mountains ignited her passion for wild creatures and the places they live. She has shared her love of the wild as a naturalist and educator in state parks and zoos in southwest Virginia and the Space Coast of Florida, where she is currently working on a graduate degree in environmental education. She lives in Florida with her husband, dog, and several reptiles. This is her first published book. Paul Mirocha has decades of experience as a visual designer for print and digital media.

"""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.""--Marion Dane Bauer, Newbery Honor winner, author of On My Honor, Sunshine, The Stuff of Stars, and many others ""This gentle and generous story guides readers through what bonds humans and animals--and conveys the respect we owe to the natural world.""--Eliot Schrefer, two-time finalist for the National Book Award in Young People's Literature, author of The Ape Quartet: Endangered, Threatened, Rescued, and Orphaned, and many others ""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.""--Joyce Sidman, The Robert F. Sibert Medal winner for The Girl Who Drew Butterflies: How Maria Merian's Art Changed Science, author of Hello, Earth!: Poems to Our Planet, and many others"
