WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

“Thank you all so much for making this app. I am a sign language interpreter in a kindergarten classroom. I am so excited to share this app with the Deaf student and the family!!!! What an amazing resource!!” Brenna K, USA

“I just had a teacher in my office telling me how wonderful your books are. She was using it with a 1st grader to have her explain the differences between characters...the student was laughing out loud at the story.” School Library and Media Specialist, USA
