Caring Causes: Rock by GroupLove


 A half a million people descended on Woodstock all coming together peacefully for the love of music. Amidst today’s uncertain and volatile times, music can be the symbol of unity and love again while giving kids a daily outlet for burning energy and having fun. Based in Los Angeles, Cali's Books is a publishing house dedicated to introducing young children to the joyous world of words and music.


The newest book, Rock by GroupLove, is a special edition book with six classic rock songs from Queen, John Lennon, Elvis Presley and Survivor. All the songs in the book are performed by GroupLove, an American alternative rock band with an included snippet of their musical hit, Colours. $1 for every book sold is donated to Campaign Zero, an organization chosen by Grouplove which is dedicated to ending police violence in America.

Reminiscing fond childhood memories of music books in France, founder and mom Cali Meyrignac, wanted to bring this tradition to her family and others here in North America. With a push of a button and turn of a page, a new tune plays each time creating a more engaging story time experience for kids.

“Music is magic. It can instantly change our mood just by listening to one feel-good song. And music doesn’t divide us. It’s inclusive. Just think of today compared to Woodstock where a half a million people set up camp peacefully for the love of one thing: music,” shares Cali Meyrignac, mom and founder of Cali’s Books.

Features of the book Rock by GroupLove:

  • Glittered Cover illustration to capture your little one’s senses

  • 6 Buttons – one easy to press on/off button on each page.

  • 6 Songs – one song per page to sing and dance along to.

  • 6 Charming illustrations to captivate little readers.

  • 6 Pages with lyrics for little ones to learn new words


6 classic rock excerpts:

For every Rock by Grouplove book sold, we will donate $1 to Campaign Zero, an organization chosen by Grouplove which is dedicated to ending police violence in America.

“The pandemic has created an enormous amount of stress on families and our kids need extra love and patience more than ever right now. Adding music and singing to your daily family routine has powerful benefits. It’s a great way for kids to burn their energy which fosters good behavior, be creative, and have fun while parents can smile and de-stress. Music makes us happy and Cali’s Books are an easy way to introduce music to babies and kids of any age,” adds Meyrignac.
