April and the Coyotes Call

By Katelyn Topping Spoerl

In the vast plains of Colorado, where red rocks rise and prairie winds sing, lives a fearless young girl named April. With wild hair and wonder in her eyes, she hides among caves carved by time-until one morning, a clever coyote invites her on a journey through the wide, waiting world.

As April follows her new companion across sagebrush and sandstone, she meets a series of wise animals who each share a gentle lesson: a painted turtle teaches patience, a bobcat shows the strength in stillness, a bear speaks of the bravery in love, and a badger encourages April to dig deep for the truth within. Along the way, April discovers that adventure isn't just about the places you go-but the spirit you bring with you.

April and the Coyote's Call is a lyrical, soul-soothing picture book for readers ages 5-10 and the grownups who read beside them. With flowing verse and timeless imagery, this gentle tale celebrates nature, friendship, emotional resilience, and the quiet power of finding your place in the world.

Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom reflection, or moments of mindfulness, this story invites children to run wild, feel deeply, and howl their truth into the stars.
