App Description

Can tears of sorrow produce wildflowers of joy? This imaginative fairy-tale by the author of Sister Yessa's Story tells the tale of a childless couple whose tears are magically transformed into the baby they want so badly...but what happens when the ragged wizard woman returns to take the child back?

The Teardrop Baby is a part of the Auracle line from Auryn Inc. The app is based on Karen Radler Greenfield’s book by the same name illustrated by Sharleen Collicott.

Key features include

Personalization of voice and text:
- Kids can become their own narrator or listen to their parents narrate the book.
- Interactivity allows kids to personalize the sentence, create new action words and sharpen their vocabulary skills

Features on each page
- Easy Switch between text and illustration to experience the story in a unique fashion
-Karaoke effect – The words are highlighted as they are read
-Touch a word to hear it being spoken in Read Myself mode

Three ways to read the book.
-"Read to me" - Listen to the narrated story with words highlighted as they are read. After the narration finishes on a page the child can interact with objects till they are ready to move to the next page
-"Read myself" - Read the book in its traditional form
-"Auto Play" - Pages advance automatically once the narration is finished. Useful for those long car rides when you want the child to have a complete book experience
