Simple Sentence & Easy Stories
Free
Finny lives in a cozy pond, but he feels something is missing. He tries eating more food and even thinks about moving to a bigger space. But his heart still feels empty. It isn't until he helps a tiny fish in trouble that he discovers a gentle warmth in his heart.
This beautifully interactive app follows Finny as he transforms from a lonely fish into the happiest resident of the pond as he learns to focus on the needs of his friends.
“Finny” is a gentle lesson in empathy, kindness, and emotional growth. This early reader storybook app lets children join Finny, a big, chubby koi fish, as he discovers that a full tummy and a big pond aren't enough to make him happy. Through a chance meeting with a wise turtle and a heroic rescue, Finny learns that true happiness comes from helping others, not from material things.
