In the companion to Coyote Moon, follow a red-tailed hawk in his hunt to feed his family in this lyrical, fierce, and gorgeously illustrated picture book, from Maria Gianferrari (Coyote Moon) and illustrated by Caldecott medalist Brian Floca. Complete with back matter containing more information about how hawks hunt, nest, and raise families, as well as further sources.

Early morning and a ruffle of feathers,

A shadow gliding through the backyard.

High above your house Father Hawk circles, sharp eyes searching for prey. From the front porch, you watch.

Swoosh!

He dives after chipmunks, crows, sparrows, squirrels.

Screech!

The sun sets low in the sky. What's for dinner?

Industry Reviews

*"An incredible companion to the author's Coyote Moon...A first purchase for most libraries."--School Library Journal, starred review

*"[A] captivating introduction." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Positively electrifying...[an] absorbing reminder that we need never look far to see wild, beautiful nature."--Kirkus Reviews

"Gianferrari's poetic text layers lyrical beauty onto a harsh story of survival, and Floca's luminous scenes convey both honest objectivity--the terrified squirrel racing under the hawk's shadow and then gripped in its claws--and genuine sensitivity in the parent hawks' care for their chicks."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
