As seen in theaters in Feb 2012: And So You Were Born children's book app.m4v

Catch it in a film hitting theaters soon, featured as a source of character-development for children!

Not just any book app, but a first-of-its kind. Introducing to you personalization features not yet experienced elsewhere... And So You Were Born showcases unique capabilities such as the opportunity to record brief readings of writings on VIDEO -- particularly useful for working parents and loved ones who are unable to read to their child whenever they'd like -- to then be played on the child's tap of the screen to their surprise. Taking personalization to another level, the book app offers the option to INPUT PERSONAL DETAILS into the text, including the child's name, birthday, and names of loved ones.

Heartwarming text and colorful, whimsical illustrations and animations hold the reader's interest as they learn of the great love that exists for them and about the purpose of spreading that love to all in return, lessons presented with intercultural images and a relevant short quote from major faith traditions. All the while, and without even realizing it, the reader's goodly character will be encouraged and cheered!
