Birthday Bash

Written by Blair Northen Williamson

A laugh-out-loud adventure that teaches kids how to handle big emotions and find creative solutions!

Kiko the Mouse is determined to host the perfect birthday party aboard his houseboat but when a buzzing bug crashes his cupcake preparations, Kiko’s frustration leads to a chaotic chain of mishaps—boat holes, gushing leaks, and sinking party plans!

Can Kiko, with the help of his clever friends, keep his cool long enough to patch things up? Or will his over-the-top reaction sink his party?

Packed with hilarious antics and relatable lessons, Birthday Bash is perfect for kids ages 4-8.

With its vibrant illustrations and playful storytelling, Birthday Bash helps children identify their feelings, laugh at life’s messes, and discover that sometimes, even uninvited guests become unexpected friends.
