His muzzle is turning white, his fur isn't as thick as it used to be, and his howl now as a few tremors in it, but Old Coyote's memory is as sharp as ever. He can recall when there wasn't any city near his home, and there were no highways with cars breaking speed limits.
Since he can't run the way he used to Old Coyote sort of ambles along thinking about the past. He returns to the den where he lives with Mrs. Coyote. Together they think of their children and grandchildren, all 129 of them! But, he aches, he hurts. He knows he's grown old.
In the way of all coyotes he tells Mrs. Coyote that he will be soon going off. She understands, and licks him on the nose.
This tender tale about living a full life and then saying goodbye will help youngsters understand what the final goodbye means. It's a simple story beautifully illustrated in mixed media on paper.

A gentle tale that shows how death is a natural part of life. The beautiful illustrations are a perfect accompaniment to this story.

This one will make you cry.
I just thought I would say that up front. This a touching book, both well written and beautifully illustrated.
Old Coyote realizes that the end is near. He spends his last day walking around and bidding goodbye to his favorite places and his old friends...and even to the rabbits he used to chase and hunt.
This book is a great exploration of life as a shining circle, with every ending merely the beginning of another cycle. I joyously recommend this to any pagan family, especially if you looking for a story to help a child understand the death of a loved one. Kudos to the author & artist.
