Kaya and Roti love to tell stories and sing nursery rhymes. More importantly, they love meeting new friends!
A party is a great way to make friends. But… is there any way to throw a big bash now? Joined by their new pal Guyou, Kaya and Roti must rally together and get creative to find a new way to party and connect with their friends!
