Fresh, funny, and entertaining, this light hearted but genuine musical comedy tackles the question we so often ask ourselves on life’s roller coaster journey of ups and downs, “Are We There Yet.” The typical bumps, u-turns, and road blocks that we are all too-familiar with are played out on stage in a riotous fashion through the eyes of the modern American family that may seem strangely similar to your own. This refreshing and reflective comedy that has been called the parents’ edition of I Love you, You’re perfect, Now Change!” may finally prove that the answer to life’s question is simply a sense of humor.

A modern-day pop-art icon, Romero Britto is now using his talents to teach children their ABCs in his first children’s book. Britto’s striking artwork will dazzle both children and parents, as he brings the alphabet to life in this bold and beautiful puzzle board book “My Alphabet Playbook.”

As children read the book they can guess which object is hiding under each press-out letter. One by one, with the help of the enclosed stands, little ones can stack the letters to make their own vibrant sculptures. The 26 press-out pieces, each shaped like a letter of the alphabet, will encourage young readers to create their own Britto-esque sculptures.
