Lately, Baylee wasn’t enjoying life. She didn’t know why, but, she just couldn’t keep her attention on anything for even a minute.
She couldn’t enjoy a good game of chase, because she was constantly thinking about something else as she ran.
Baylee was absolutely miserable!
Poor Baylee just can’t stop worrying. She can’t keep a happy thought in her head! Her best friend, Meg, thinks that perhaps La Vieja, a wise old coyote who lives on the peak, may be able to help.
Join Baylee in her quest to find La Vieja and regain her happiness.
Each page of this delightful story is a celebration of vivid color and texture.
Betty Schweitzer-Johnson’s magnificent illustrations bring the desert and its creatures to life with an enchanting balance of authenticity and whimsy.
