CHARACTER
Grow happy, confident kids with stories where they choose what happens next.
PLAY
Build emotional intelligence through play
Wanderly's personalized and interactive stories use science-backed strategies to help children understand feelings, practice empathy, and develop resilience — all while having fun.
“The story gave me the information I needed to know: what my son was most anxious about and where I can reassure him more. It was a way for my son to be heard and express his feelings through the fun of storytelling.”
EMPOWER
Your child makes the choices
Children don't often get to be in charge. Grow your child's confidence with every story as they choose characters and what happens next.
Your child can choose the characters and explore emotional choices - even the "not so good" ones - within the safe space of a story.
“My three-year old was throwing her water bottle before bedtime. We used Wanderly to tell a story about an ice princess who wanted to throw her water bottle. The first time through she explained how the ice princess was feeling and had her throw the bottle. But then she wanted to do the story over again right away – so she could help the ice princess choose to use words instead!”

Skills that translate to the real world
Using Wanderly to practice naming feelings, choosing behaviors, and exploring outcomes within the safety of a story gives your child the foundations they need to self-manage and thrive. You can even customize stories with their own experiences.
“My son is an amazing kid who struggles with big feelings and his reactions to them. The stories in Wanderly give us a way to talk about dealing with those feelings when things are calm and we are connected. When he is in a hard moment, we can use language he has chosen from Wanderly to help him.”

BUILT BY A MOM
Hi, I'm Laura.
Growing up, I loved the stories my mother and I made up together at night.
Now that I have two children of my own, I realize how hard that must have been for her to do!
Wanderly is an interactive storytelling app and publisher that helps families through tough moments and builds connection. It works just like the stories I used to tell with my mom: Wanderly provides the words, but it's your child's choices that shape the story!
Thanks for supporting my small, woman-owned business. I hope Wanderly gets to make some magical stories with and for you and your family.
