by D. Ahsen Nase Douglas (Illustrator), D. Ahsen Nase Douglas (Author)

Coyote Boy: An Original Trickster Story is the contemporary tale of a young Kanien'kehá ka (Mohawk) boy who moves away from his traditional territory in Quebec to the lands of the Anishinaabe in Southern Ontario. Follow his adventures when he meets Coyote for the first time, and discovers that this mischievous friend will stop at nothing to get him into trouble... for his own good.

Learn along with Coyote Boy as he discovers new and exciting things as Coyote takes him on whirl-wind adventures. Or as Coyote would say... "Travelling Air-Coyote!"

Coyote Boy: An Original Trickster Story is the introductory tale that introduces readers to the Boy and Coyote, and establishes the premise for further books.

From the Author:
"Coyote Boy: an original trickster story" is a children's story book I originally wrote in a few hours one Saturday morning. I literary awoke with the entire story in my head, bursting to get out! Starting at 8am, I typed as fast as I could before I lost the "voice". Two coffee pots later, it was completed by 11am!

It's a semi-autobiographical story based on a dream I had when I was around 8 years old. When it was first published in 2015 it was selected by the Southern Ontario Library Association for the "First Nation Communities Reading Program".

I've never heard that voice since. I think it may have been Coyote whispering in my ear.
