And So You Were Born.

First being offered to children as an interactive book app for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, And So You Were Born is not just any book app, but a first-of-its kind. Published through Twin Peacocks Publishing, the app includes personalization features not yet experienced in other apps, including the opportunity to record a brief reading of several faith-based quotes on video to then be played on the child’s tap of the screen, particularly useful for busy moms who are unable to always be there to read with their child!

The app is loaded with educational and personalized content, including text highlighting as it is narrated, and the opportunity for the child's name, birthdate, and names of family and friends to be featured in the text! It has already received Hollywood's attention, being approached by film producers to be featured in their upcoming film.

Colorful, whimsical illustrations and animations hold the child’s interest throughout as the child learns of the great love that exists for them – from God’s love before and after birth, to love of family and friends – and about the purpose of being a shining star and spreading that love in return. And looking carefully through the illustrations, images of love and portrayals of faith and cultural unity can be seen throughout, providing excellent sources of discussion with youngsters.

Perfect timing and ideal for gift-giving in the iTunes App Store (just click ‘Gift This App’ in the App Store once we’re released!)
