A Project with a Purpose... or Three
Not only is this book a beautifully illustrated story of two little kids trying to get their Mom to take the day off and take them to the beach, it has a few other goals....
- Depicting Diverse Families - The key characters, two children and their Mom, do not look alike and there is no Dad is specifically shown. This is intentional so it is left up to the imagination if they are from a blended family for any variety of reasons, that may fit with the readers own life experiences. Or perhaps you could interpret that they are not biologically related. It could be a single Mom, or a same sex couple, or there is a Dad that just isn’t there that day… it just isn’t defined. The skin colors of all three characters will be noticeably different, but it is very very clear they are a loving family. That is the intent.
- Taking Time – There is a message in the book to stop and take time off once in a while and just spend it together, and a reminder of where great memories come from... those moments which become priceless.
- Home-School Funding for Guatemala Aid Fund – 100 % of the profits from the Book will be going to construction and operation of the new Home and School Project in Solola Guatemala.

A few stanzas from the book..
Singing Beach Day
|
When Jojo and Gigi awoke on this day...
The room was light, the sun was so bright, and there was not a cloud in sight Gigi jumped up with excitement to say …. The perfect way to spend this day is to go to the sand by the sea and play! 
|
Jojo sighed and quickly replied…
There is no way that Mom will say “Let’s go to the beach and play all day!” We probably know how this will go Mom’s always rushing to and fro, “Brush your teeth, I cannot wait!” “Put on your shoes, we’re already late!” 
|
Later in the book.... With popsicles dripping on sun-kissed babies today’s not a day for “No’s” and "Maybe's" It’s a day to feel lucky and sunny and shiny It’s a day we all need whether big or still tiny |
