A Coyote. A Trumpet. A Mystery.

In the quiet town of Mystic, Harmony is a coyote with a gift for music—and a reputation he didn’t earn. Local pets are disappearing, and everyone suspects him. To clear his name, he turns to the only tool he has: his trumpet.

A warm, inventive story about coexistence, community, and the surprising power of music to bring unlikely neighbors together.

For readers ages 8–12.

Harmony is a heartwarming and enchanting tale about community, understanding, and the magic of music. As Harmony the coyote tries to prove his innocence amid a wave of disappearing pets, this beautifully illustrated story teaches valuable lessons about coexistence with nature. With captivating characters and a touching message, Harmony is perfect for young and old readers who enjoy stories celebrating compassion, wildlife, and harmony in everyday life.”

—A. Freddy Hedgrid, wildlife conservationist and nature advocate

“What makes Harmony among Neighbors stand out is its ability to speak to both younger and older readers. While the story is whimsical and charming, it offers a meaningful message about the power of music and the importance of open-mindedness. Harmony’s trumpet playing, initially viewed with suspicion, ultimately becomes the key to solving the mystery and healing the divisions within Mystic.”
