The Mumwalds by Lee Crawford.

When the pine cone blight threatens their food supply, the Mumwalds are forced to venture from their protected valley in search of alternatives. What follows is a remarkable tale of adventure, conflict, and discovery, laced with insights into faith, sin, change, the nature of God, and why bad things happen to good people--or in this case, good Mumwalds.

What are Mumwalds? Creature who developed human-like intelligence and awareness long before humans did, but only in an isolated valley of the Rocky Mountains. They are small, round, and furry, with short arms and stubby legs. They live in peace with one another and with their creator and sustainer, The Great Maker, and thus they have achieved a sinless society.
