“Any picture book collection should be honored to receive this book. … Beautiful work. Beautiful stuff.” –Librarian Betsy Bird, Fuse #8

“Backyard nature has rarely been this exciting; kids who would roll their eyes at tree identification will sit intrigued for this. A spread of coyote facts, including websites and books for further reading helpfully rounds out the volume.” —Project Muse

“This striking book celebrates the life of coyotes without dismissing their predatory nature. … Though many pages show her fierceness, there is a quiet satisfaction when the hunt is done. With sunlight and success comes a celebratory song and a child witness, warmth in text and illustrations.” —Booklist

“Gianferrari’s narrative is vivid enough to stand without any images, and Ibatoulline’s art would make a lovely wordless picture book—but woven together, they tell a story that is striking and transfixing.

A truthful but non-gory look at the circle of life, Coyote Moon concludes with two pages of facts, making it a fascinating and useful book for libraries and classrooms. From cover to cover, from sunset to moonrise, Coyote Moon will mesmerize and intrigue—and have you peering into the nighttime for your own coyote glimpse.” —BookPage
