This is very nice. I really like the drawings and the page animations were pleasurable. I did notice that my screen resolution seemed to cause a bit of confusion, I would sometimes get the bouncing down arrow and other times there was content below, but no bouncing arrow. This was overall great. Thanks for sharing. (btw my screen is 1440x900)
That’s helpful, thank you. Navigation and transitions will improve on native platforms.
Also, I’ve gone back and forth on fitting each page into the viewport and eliminating scrolling, as Im not sure 3-5 yr olds can grok it. The downside is that it severely limits what control I have over the mise en scene. Curious if you (or anyone else) has thoughts on that?
Hi all, this is the pilot episode to an illustrated and interactive picture book series I'm working on. Making it has been an opportunity to combine a few things I love: writing, coding, illustration, and animation.
I'm beta testing the pilot online before distributing a fully featured app, that will be home to all future episodes. So feedback is much appreciated!
The style is an attempt to channel the warmth of books alongside the inventiveness of digital (eg. hand-drawn illustrations, gentle interactions, stories inspired by the natural world)...while introducing kids to a healthy relationship with the screen.

My 5 year old loves this and wants more!
Thanks for that! It’s inspiring. Will make more ;)
