Local author Ethel K. Coffey's new children's book, Cloud Watchers, has recently been published ($23.99).

Summary (per a press release):

Cloud Watchers is a story set in the magnificent Sonoran Desert. The main characters are based on two very real characters- the author's own dogs, Meg and Baylee. In the story, Baylee is unhappy and unable to stop worrying. Meg thinks that, perhaps, a wise old coyote who lives on the peak may be able to help.
