Finny - Early Reader Kids Book

Finny lives in a cozy pond, but he feels something is missing. He tries eating more food. He 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 feels 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 by focusing on the needs of his friends.

“Finny” is a gentle lesson in empathy, kindness, and emotional growth. This engaging storybook app lets you 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 the most important lesson of all: that real happiness comes from helping others, not from material things.

“If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.
