Monkey Faces

Preparing for the big day can be as much fun as the day itself. Friends Sokron, Meeka, Nina, Jonsy, Kiki and Aya each take responsibility for one aspect of the up-coming Monkey Day Festival while helping out with the others. Enlisting the aid of some family members and working at a breakneck pace, they pull together an event that features food, music, costumes, activities for the neighborhood kids and, most importantly, storytelling with a message for moms and dads. The event is a huge success--the girls make sure each of the local kids receives recognition for his or her efforts--and it all le-ads Aya’s parents to a happier place.
