This story has messages about self-worth, self-confidence, following your dream, being open to different avenues to realize aspirations, friendship, community support, family support, working toward goals, how to deal with disappointment, and being open to change. Have you ever loved doing something SO MUCH...yet, are not that great at doing it? Chester and Tomás are two fuzzy buddys who discover what it means to support each other's dream, even if that vision will look a little different from its original intention.
Chester loves the songs of his coyote clan. He lives and breathes the music of his desert home, but discovers that he cannot carry a tune. In fact, he sings so horribly that the clan will not allow him to sing at all! Oh no! What can he do? Is Chester's dream destroyed? At last, with Tomás' help, Chester discovers that instead of being a singer, he had another brilliant natural talent that the clan could celebrate. Chester finds his place and purpose in the clan! While Chester is celebrated for his accomplishments, he teaches Tomás that being an outstanding friend is just as important as having outstanding talent. What's essential is lifting each other up in support of each other's unique gifts and aspirations, whatever shape they may take.
