We want to encourage our kids to work as a team to build community and to understand that our individual strengths and differences contribute to our success and growth as a group and as individuals. There are two groups of Strummers. At the beginning of the story, each has their own way of strumming - some with pep and some slow of step And they each stubbornly defend that their way is best. They argue, scream and yell at each other, until Bongo the drummer shows them how, in spite of their differences, they are so much better when they all work together
