Wanderly Unveils Interactive Storytelling Platform, Empowering Children to Shape Their Own Adventures
A New Era in Children's Literature
Wanderly, an interactive storytelling app and publisher designed for children, officially launches a revolutionary approach to personalized children’s books. Unlike traditional personalized books that merely insert a child’s name into pre-existing stories, Wanderly allows children to make choices that influence the plot, giving them an active role in their own adventure. By selecting characters, settings, and plot twists, children aged 3-8 become the hero and the author of their own unique stories. This innovative approach to storytelling is designed to boost creativity, imagination, and engagement.
Fostering Creativity Through Storytelling
Founder Laura Holmes, a former Google product leader, created Wanderly to provide children with a platform where they could craft stories based on their personal interests. "When I was growing up, my mother and I would make up stories together at bedtime," Holmes says. "Now that I’m a mother myself, I realized how important and magical those moments were. I wanted to build something that would allow children to have similar experiences, where they are the ones guiding the story."
Wanderly’s unique approach empowers parents and children to create stories together, strengthening bonds while offering insights into a child's preferences, decisions, and imagination. The app also includes the option for custom-printed books, featuring one-of-a-kind illustrations created specifically for each child’s adventure.
Personalized, Meaningful Connections for Families
Through the app, children can explore diverse worlds, select companions for their journey, and even introduce whimsical, unexpected twists to the plot. For parents, this means not only fostering their child’s creativity but also gaining a deeper understanding of their child’s interests and personality. The experience is designed to be both fun and educational, offering a fresh alternative to traditional bedtime stories.
Holmes, who spent over a decade working at Google, draws on her extensive experience leading innovative projects such as Grasshopper, an app that taught adults to code, and the Google for Education AI Learning team. “I’m passionate about building products that inspire, and Wanderly is a culmination of that passion. It’s more than just an app; it’s a tool for building a lasting, meaningful connection between parents and children through stories."
The Wanderly Experience
Wanderly is available as a free app on both iOS and Android. Each user can customize their child’s story based on their specific interests, with each adventure offering fresh, new possibilities. Additionally, Wanderly offers physical custom books, complete with illustrations based on the child’s personal journey.
With the holiday season approaching, Wanderly is positioned to become a must-have gift for families looking for a unique, interactive experience that grows with the child.
