I Am Coyote

Combining rigorous science with imaginative storytelling, I Am Coyote reveals the complex outer and inner lives of coyotes. We are not the only sentient beings on this planet; we are not unique in experiencing love, fear, grief, joy, and acceptance. This story penetrates the veil of “otherness” that separates us from the creatures with whom we share the world. Geri Vistein is a nationally recognized expert on coyote-human interactions and maintains the website CoyoteLivesInMaine.com.

“Reveals for us the intricacies and perceptions of creatures who lead lives among us.” - Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel

“This is not a book about ‘a species of animal’ and what ‘it’ does. Geri Vistein takes us so deep into Coyote’s skin and behind the eyes and nose that she reveals for us the intricacies and perceptions of creatures who lead lives among us. This is the right perspective for understanding who we are here with on Earth. Vistein has chosen one of the absolutely most wondrous fellow-creatures in America to make our introduction.” - Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel
