Words + Images

On the one hand, Old Coyote by Nancy Wood and illustrated by Max Grafe is about growing old and reflecting on a life well spent before passing on.  On the other hand, I choose to see it as a book about cycles and transformation from one existence to another.  The story is both sad and uplifting, and the images in antique golds, browns and ashy greys perfectly suit the words.
