Little stories for big feelings

We believe every child deserves to be heard. Wanderly gives your child a voice through personalized storytelling that helps them practice important skills before they're needed.

Our Story

After 13 years of working at Google and about 8 years of working in EdTech, Laura (Wanderly's founder) decided to take the leap and start Wanderly out of her own home in Oakland, CA. She works on it with her husband and two kids, Alanna (7) and Selena (3).

Wanderly is an opportunity to weave together the magic of AI, storytelling, and education into a new kind of bedtime story, that can build connection, imagination, and emotional intelligence.

Our Mission

We're committed to helping children develop essential life skills through the power of personalized storytelling. Every story is designed to build confidence, skills, and imagination.

By making children the authors of their own stories, we help them practice important skills before they're needed, all while creating connection and beating story fatigue.

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 creates never-before-told stories based on your child's imagination. 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.
