Learning to walk again is the easy part. For twelve-year-old Charley, recovering from the accident that shattered her leg is nowhere near as difficult as facing the solitude of a summer without her best friend and with a father who does nothing, now, but work. Solitude means time to think, time to hear for the first time the awful silence left in her world two years ago by her mother's death. But the summer holds a surprise for Charley, in the form of a mysterious dog who appears in the woods across the lake from her home. In order to connect with this wild spirit she names Coyote, Charley will have to do more than just walk. She will have to follow Coyote into the heart of her memories: the woods her mother loved so much. And she will have to learn to listen past the silence. This unsentimental, unforgettable story comes straight from the heart of Newbery Honor author Stephanie S. Tolan. As she describes Charley's difficult emotional and physical journey, she weaves together themes of nature, family, and love into a complex and powerful portrait of recovery.

Humans have been drawing pictures since some ancient man drew something on the ground or on the walls of his cave. These images were representations of their life. The very first drawings may have been drawn using a stick or a rock. Their canvas: the walls of the cave they dwell in. There are many examples of cave paintings portraying animals and humans. Some also show the activities of these ancient humans.The pictures we have drawn have evolved along with the human brain. As the brain grew more sophisticated, so did the drawings and pictures. Some became more realistic; showing what the artist sees in reality. Others tried to draw and paint the emotions they have. There have been scores of great painters in history. They have created wonderful, awe-inspiring, and truly magnificent works of art.As time moved forward, technology developed and progressed.
