". . . They come by night when the moon is full and city lights are far away . . ./Whisper their name the ancient way,/"Coyotl. Coyotl." A child imagines being at one with the desert creatures once inhabiting the desert stretches where now the family's suburban home and garden are. Delicately beautiful full-color paintings fill the whole pages picturing the child's dreams, while white borders frame moon-filled pages of the present time. (Ages 3-7)
