About This Story

What your child will experience

Your child chooses a character and a starting location, then drives the story forward with their own ideas. Each page responds to their choices—whether silly, serious, or surprising—and invites them to decide what happens next. There's no "right" path, no problem to solve, just open-ended play and exploration.

Why this approach helps

This story draws on play-therapy principles: free, child-led storytelling builds confidence, self-acceptance, and emotional vocabulary. When children direct the action, they practice agency and creative problem-solving in a safe, low-stakes space. If the story turns serious, gentle prompts help name feelings without pressure.

What to notice as a parent

Pay attention to what your child chooses to explore and how characters respond to challenges. Do they seek out adventure, comfort, or conflict? Their choices offer clues about what feels important or unresolved right now. If a character expresses a big feeling, that may reflect something your child is processing. Follow up later with curiosity, not correction: "I noticed your character felt worried—does that ever happen to you?" If your child decides to use their open-ended freedom to experiment with silly answers, embrace their creativity. You're helping affirm who they are.

“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.”

“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.”

— Bill
