The brainchild of Shira Grabelsky, this story originated in American Sign Language. We were floored by the storyline and Shira’s skills on social media, and knew it would be a wonderful storybook app. So we worked together to mold it into an app for you to enjoy. After two years this project has come to completion! You and your family can sit back and absorb this captivating story narrated by Shira brought to life with brilliant illustrations by Bridget Berrigan. This storybook app is a proud addition to our collection of award-winning high-quality VL2 Storybook Apps.
