Playdate with Jess

by Jess & Eliot

Want to have a playdate? Me too! But we are kinda far apart right now, so you can listen to this podcast I made for you. I'll tell you some stories and read you some books. You can listen whenever you need some company. (If you are not one of my nieces, nephews, frieces, frephews, or students, you probably won't be super into this podcast. But if you stumbled across it and you like it, great!)
