In the town of Mystic, everyone loves the distant sound of a trumpet floating down from the hillside. What they don't know is that Harmony-their local coyote-is the one playing it. When pets start disappearing, suspicion falls on Harmony. He can't get anyone to listen. So he does the only thing he knows how to do: he climbs to the top of the hill and plays. What happens next surprises everyone. Harmony Among Neighbors is a warm, inventive story about a misunderstood coyote, a community willing to change its mind, and what it actually takes for wildlife and people to share a neighborhood.
The story's "Rules of Coexistence"-delivered by the pets themselves-offer practical, real-world guidance on living alongside urban wildlife, making this as much an educational tool as it is a story. Written by award-winning wildlife photographer and Certified Naturalist Stephanie Becker. Ideal for readers ages 8-12, classrooms, and any family that's ever wondered about the wild neighbors living just beyond the fence.
