Harmony Among Neighbors

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.
