About This Story

What your child will experience

Your child becomes the hero of a classic quest adventure, making meaningful choices at every turn. They'll decide what magical or special object to search for, how to solve puzzles, how to overcome obstacles, and how their community celebrates success. The story emphasizes teamwork, creative problem-solving, and the joy of helping others.

Why this approach helps

Quest narratives give children a safe framework to practice decision-making and persistence. By positioning your child as the capable hero, the story builds confidence and agency. Choosing how to solve problems—rather than being told—supports flexible thinking and shows that challenges can be approached in multiple ways.

What to notice as a parent

Pay attention to the strategies your child chooses when facing obstacles. Do they lean toward asking for help, trying something creative, or powering through? Their choices offer clues about their natural problem-solving style and comfort with collaboration. If they pick playful or unexpected solutions, that's wonderful—it shows imaginative confidence.

“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.”

“My son couldn't put the story down!”

“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.”

“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.”
