Brave Rooney [for iOS]

“One of the best kid apps in all of iTunes," according to the author of iPAD APPS FOR KIDS FOR DUMMIES, 2013….

Recipient of a KIRKUS STAR “awarded to books of exceptional merit"…

Called an “encouraging storybook for all kids, wondering if they measure up to their peers,” by COMMON SENSE MEDIA.

Fitting in can be a problem for kids, especially if they’re the only regular ones in an elementary school for superheroes. That’s the challenge Rooney faces. How does he overcome it? By showing the superhero kids what it takes to be really brave and that every child has a superpower of his or her own. Here are some of the reviews:

“Brave Rooney was written by Gerry Renert…an award winning and Emmy nominated children’s television writer. He’s tapped into this familiar worry, “Will I fit in?” and he presents it in a humorous way that I think children will really understand and relate to. I know my kids did! This story is a winner for back to school or any time of the year!”
— iPhone Mom

“Rooney feels inadequate next to his superhero classmates, but when the entire school is given an assignment that leaves them shaking in their superhero socks, it’s Rooney who shows a different kind of strength and becomes a hero in his own right.”
— Parenthood.com

“iPad digital books are so common, my kids have become quite the critics. So I know that we had a hit on our hands when all three of my boys are fighting over one…the interactive features keep kids engaged, involved, and reading. There are things to press, move, and manipulate with your finger, making each page a beautiful new creation…you, too, will be sold like my kids are.”
— Cool Mom Tech
