Mr. Coyote Visits the Robson Valley, (Paperback)

Mr. Coyote Visits the Robson Valley is a delightful adventure story for all ages, adapted from an old song, The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night, made popular by Peter Spier's illustrated children's book. Motivated by the memory of her father singing the tune, but exchanging the fox for a coyote, author Sheilagh Foster has vividly brought to life Mr. Coyote's crafty and cunning quest to find a delectable feast for his hungry family. Traveling along the Fraser River from Mount Robson the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, will Mr. Coyote outwit farmer John Jack and secure the tasty meal? An enjoyable illustrated folktale that will entertain the younger reader, while older readers will also appreciate the beautiful artwork.

Sheilagh Foster grew up in the Rocky Mountain Trench, near McBride, B.C. Canada, where she currently resides. She is inspired by the people and picturesque mountain landscape near her home. By rewriting a favorite family song, Ms. Foster hopes that the tradition of singing to children is passed with love from generation to generation. She is working on her next book, a collection of stories about women in the Robson Valley.
