CoyoteBat is a Beautiful Book!-by Carolyn Wolfe
CoyoteBat is a truly original story of self transformation and self discovery. Through following along on the main character "CoyoteBat's" journey, all through his adventures and misadventures, you find yourself drawn in by the poetically beautiful words of this book. The story has the flavor of Myth and like all Myths it has guiding principals that stay with you long after the story concludes. I find myself looking for my own "Knobs of The Universe" where in the book, these magical stones help reveal your inner worth and substance. The illustrations are truly remarkable,and create windows for us to actually be able to view the magical realm revealed in this book! I recommend this book highly and think it is a must read for anyone interested in continuing their own inner journey. CoyoteBat's journey is a journey we can all relate to and we cheer right along with him, as the book reaches its conclusion. It is a wonderful story!
