About This Story

What your child will experience

Your child will create a personalized keepsake book by answering prompts about their mom or mother figure. They'll reflect on specific memories, qualities, and moments—from what makes them laugh together to how she shows love. Each answer becomes part of a rhyming narrative that celebrates their unique relationship.

Why this approach helps

Naming what we appreciate builds emotional vocabulary and strengthens attachment. This story invites children to notice the everyday ways they're cared for, which deepens gratitude and connection over time. It's relationship-focused rather than gift-focused, helping kids articulate love in concrete terms.

What to notice as a parent

Your child's answers reveal what moments feel most meaningful to them—sometimes it's the big lessons, sometimes it's a silly inside joke. If answers feel surface-level ("She makes pizza"), that's developmentally normal; gentle follow-ups like "What do you love about pizza nights together?" can deepen reflection. This keepsake becomes a snapshot of how your child sees important relationships right now.

“At first I thought it was one of those bedtime ploys to stay up later, but when the request came again first thing in the morning I realized it was just genuine excitement about Wanderly. My two kiddos - ages 7 and 8 - had a blast selecting their adventure pals (they have the cutest "pets" that go on the adventure with them) and choosing the direction of the story every step of the way. I turned up the reading level today and it was neat to see my son work through a few new words and stick with it because he was so excited about his story.”

“We've been using it every night for bedtime stories for our 3 year old.”

“Ok, so I installed this yesterday, and I've already read 5 stories with my 4 year old. That's over an hours worth of time. Today he tried to negotiate to have me read 4 in a row... He's fully engaged, and takes his time over the choices - I think that and the funny moments in the stories are what have him hooked. He lost it when our cat (yes, you can include your pet in a story!) turned into a elephant. As a parent, it's whimsical and a welcome change from the regular books in rotation. I was initially unsure about using my phone to engage him during bedtime, but he entrallment quickly overcame that. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to others.”

“It's been fantastic for creating and sharing our stories with beautiful art. What a great keepsake!”

“My dyslexic 4th grader struggles with reading and comprehension. She is finally excited to read using Wanderly!”

— Bill

“As an lifelong educator, I give this app an enthusiastic 5 stars+. With opportunity to choose and name characters, type of story and plot ... what could be more creative? What could be a more productive use of screen time? I love that this app was created and is carefully monitored by a Mom of young kids. She also happens to have technical/AI chops ... she was a Google Product Manager in their Education Products sector. The graphics are quite lovely, the story lines are fun and age-appropriate.”

— Helen

“I'm very impressed with the ease with which I was able to write a fun (and colorful) story. I wrote one for my grandchild and can't wait to share it with her.”
