In the book, Ringgold relates the story of young Melody, who visits her Aunt Connie and Uncle Bate's big house on the beach. Aunt Connie, an artist, has several surprises for the family - including that she and Uncle Bates have adopted a son, Lonnie, whose green eyes and red hair instantly captivate Melody.
