Description

*** Over 50,000 downloads! Chosen by The Daily Mail as one of the Top 40 Apps of 2013! *** Dandelion is a moving interactive App about bullying and the power of imagination. This magical interactive story came about when the author's son experienced bullying. The story, in the spirit of Where the Wild Things Are, encourages parents and children to discuss bullying and discover whether imagination can diminish fear and build confidence. A storytelling experience unlike any other, allowing users to physically blow dandelions from the screen! SELECTED BY APPLE FOR 'BEST OF 2012'! ** #1 App in Australian App Store for interactive Books!! ** 10/10 review from AppStorm! Note: 'Dandelion' is an original fable which transports the reader to a world where they are encouraged to use their imagination. (It is not presented as a solution to bullying as bullying takes many forms and there is no one solution). Benjamin's story is his own journey and is a work of fiction that we hope creates conversation. DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE TO iOS! Compatible with iPhone, iPod and iPad. Gorgeous hand-crafted illustrations, unique composed soundtrack and a new creative world to explore! ******************************************************** THIS APP HAS BEEN TRANSLATED TO THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGES IN ADDITION TO ENGLISH: - Japanese - Mandarin - Spanish - German - French ******************************************************** Love Dandelion?

I think the attempt is admirable. Hats off for the approach, although there is so much more to bullying than the physical these days. The illustrations are excellent- maybe the sepia tones and music a little melancholy? At the end though, nothing seems resolved. And I think in a subject like that, some resolution or positive spin should be at least hinted at. The game too seemed to "sink the boot in" a little too. I admire the attempt though and the creator had gone to a lot of effort in sourcing the funding and hiring some excellent developers and coders who have executed a visually very attractive app. Just remember not to lose the message though in such stories that's all.

I found it depressing as so much of the story focus is on negative feelings and situations. No happy ending either. The central character just imagines the bullies are gone, but really they are still there. I'm sure a child would feel even more sad after reading this, more sad than when they started reading it. If I'm going to spend my money I'd prefer to feel good at the end of the story. Have paid less to get more interactivity and much happier outcome. You might think I've missed the point, but then I'm entitled to my opinion.
