Tech4Moms says And So You Were Born is as cool as ice:

“It’s a one-of-a-kind story book for the iPad and iPad2 where you can personalize the book with audio and video recordings. How cool is that?… The book illustrations are very vibrant and colorful. They are also interactive, one feature my kids really enjoyed … I found it easy to use and very versatile with its options. … my children really enjoyed this app, and I appreciated the underlying message of love and diversity!”

Author Mona Parsa has been approached by the director of an upcoming film to feature And So You Were Born book and book app in the film as being part of a character-enrichment curriculum for children. Details to come!

Up until release of And So You Were Born, a series of contests will be held for your youngsters to show what various versus in the book mean to them. First up: Virtues Drawing!

And So You Were Born features a scene with the child being helpful, caring and considerate to its family by gathering the toys in the bedroom after playtime, bringing to life the accompanying text “… you can say that you are helpful, caring, and considerate, just as a child of God would be.” Now, have YOUR little ones show us how they are helpful, caring, and considerate! Submit their drawing of what these virtues mean to them and how they feel they show it in their lives, emailing it to contest@andsoyouwereborn.com by December 7th for it to be considered for a promotional code for a free download of And So You Were Born in the iTunes App Store!
