Summary: This book uses rhyme and rhythm to tell the story of a multicultural families day at the beach and the various activities that they enjoyed together.
Extension Activity: Since this book deals with multiracial families and family time, I would have the kids write a short story explaining how each person in their family is different but have the students end their stories with the one thing their family enjoys doing together. By doing this the children can understand the concept of being different while still having things in common that they enjoy doing.
