Where Have I Been?
If you follow my blog, I must apologize for my recent absence. As I am currently the only writer at Narrative Niche, I have been as busy as a beaver in a beehive! I messed around with my novel after finally publishing it. Three years in the works, but I did it by golly. Then, after making some minor revisions of the first run, I published what I called the "Third Edition", and the edition I would say is the final/best version. I did, however, publish the original finished manuscript which is about 200 pages longer and it is available on Amazon.
So, hesitant about starting the sequel to Mysterious Ways, which is currently titled, Deyaa, I decided to revisit the book that started my publishing journey—Jester the Giraffe. And by "revisit" I mean, I wrote five more books with the characters from Jester the Giraffe!
New Branding For New Children's Book Series
While writing a new children's book series I somehow created three new brands: the title of the series—Jester and Friends™, the place where the stories take place—The Kind Canopy™, and a new YouTube Channel called Wonderful Day Animations™, which will be dedicated to transforming these five stories into YouTube videos for kids. These Jester and Friends™ videos will just be the start of what I hope evolves into a "go-to" channel that kids will love.



New Children's Book Series
Jester and Friends™ is a heartwarming book series for children ages 3–7, designed to nurture kindness, confidence, and essential life skills through fun and memorable adventures. Join Jester Giraffe, Mike Monkey, Zip Zebra, and their lovable friends in the Kind Canopy as they explore important lessons like honesty, sharing, and empathy—one joyful story at a time.
Every tale is crafted to spark meaningful conversations while supporting early childhood development, helping little ones grow into happy, resilient, and successful adults. Because the best lessons in life start with a great story!
Here are the five new books:
