About This Story

What your child will experience

Your child will journey through a personalized, choice-driven story that explores who they are and who they're becoming. Written in a gentle, prophetic voice ("There will come a day when you will..."), the story presents meaningful choices about helping others, facing challenges, and handling big emotions—all within a theme your child loves. Every option models a positive virtue, and every choice is affirmed as valuable.

Why this approach helps

This story builds emotional vocabulary and self-acceptance over time by letting children rehearse responses to real-life situations in a low-stakes, imaginative space. The repetitive, rhythmic structure creates a calm, reflective tone that encourages introspection. By validating all choices equally, it reinforces that different strengths and approaches are all worthy.

What to notice as a parent

Your child's choices offer clues about their natural instincts and values—whether they gravitate toward courage, compassion, or patience. If a choice surprises you, ask gently: "What made you pick that one?" Their answers reveal how they see themselves and the world, and where you might nurture emerging strengths.

“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.”

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

“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.”
