Jessica Blankenship announces the re-release of her hand-illustrated kid’s book, “Hippo’s Invitation to Joy!” The book is free for ONE MORE DAY and available for download on Amazon until end of 07/31/2026. But when her cheerful friends, June and Milena, invite her to play with bubbles, Hippo insists she’d rather stay where she is. Filled with playful illustrations and a heartwarming message, “Hippo’s Invitation to Joy!” gently encourages children to recognize when fear, worry, or comfort zones keep them from experiencing life’s simple delights. The way the characters in this box find new ways to play with bubbles is my favorite part! This is a great reminder to let yourself experience things that bring you joy!”– Amazon Customer“What an adorable book!
