About The Book

A joyfully retold and vibrantly illustrated story about the origin of the constellations, based on a Wasco Indian legend.

One evening, crafty Coyote climbs the moon to discover the secrets of the heavens. Instead, he finds a way to make the most wonderful pictures for all the world to see. The next night, the other animals of the canyon look up to the sky, where they see a big surprise!
