Author's Note: COYOTE is based on the real events of the morning I learned of my brother Chase's unexpected death - a morning when I actually saw and rode with a coyote - then returned home to learn that Chase was gone. Retold through the eyes of a child, COYOTE is a gentle and lyrical picture book dealing with the subject of loss. It is my hope that COYOTE will help children talk about loss and to show how art can be used to help heal the hurt of losing someone you love. In Chase's memory, my wife Krista and I have been donating our share of the proceeds to the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary in Newtown, Connecticut. Lee Harper
