The Big Green Bus and a Ride to Survival

This page is now a donation page for Joe Monach as he battles pancreatic cancer. We have published the book and it is available on Amazon.

The Big Green Bus is a heartwarming story about endearment, friendship, growth, and rebirth. We hope this story will delight the hearts of children and parents alike. Take a ride with little Isla and Big B as they grow together through the seasons of life. As Isla gets older, so does B, and they are separated. Little did they know their reunion was just highways away.

In April of 2024, the author, Joe Monach, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Forever creative and optimistic, already defeating some of life’s greatest obstacles, he has decided he wants to see this story properly come to life while he has the chance. Through the funding of the publication of this book, we will help to fuel the medical bills and livelihood of the author through his cancer treatment and journey. With each $20 donation we gifted a book and a special souvenir as a reminder to make lifelong memories on all your adventures. We either matched your donation in books or you may simply have donated on top of your book. By donating, you also supported a local artist and student of the Ringling School of Art who has carefully crafted beautiful illustrations for Joe’s vision. We published and released by September 2024.

Enjoy a trip with our travelers while helping a remarkable soul on his own ride to survival.
