For academic researchers

We develop digital picture books for computer and tablets like iPad. Many of our digital books have been subject of extensive  academic research. So far, the results have been encouraging. 

Especially children with limited language skills benefit from the meaningful context that our digital picture books provide to the reader.

These scientific findings have dramatically increased the popularity of our digital picture books on digital whiteboards and school pc’s.
