Michelle Obama Picture eBook for Children Now Available as iPhone App

Doylestown, PA, April 19, 2010 --(PR.com)-- MobiStories continues its sharp rise in iPhone app development with their cutting edge presentation of both interesting and fun books for children of all ages on all digital devices. Joining their successful, “Celebrating President Barack Obama in Pictures,” Still Motion Media has just released its second book in the series, “Celebrating First Lady Michelle Obama in Pictures.” It is an interactive application that can be downloaded to an iPhone, iTouch, and iPad from the iTunes App store. A similar MobiStory can also be downloaded to PC and Mac computers from the company’s website, www.mobistories.com.

Licensed from Enslow Publishers, this app chronicles Michelle’s life as a child through her rise to becoming our First Lady in the White House. Still Motion Media created a unique ‘camera to photo album with soundtrack’ approach for these books. Featuring audio clips of both Michelle and the President taken from the campaign trail, kids can access the photos and learn a few Fun Facts along the way. Narrating the English version of this ebook is the internationally recognized speaker and top selling author, Sanyika Calloway Boyce.

What makes this digital book iPhone app even more special is that it is narrated and written in three languages: English, Spanish and Chinese. MobiStories’ unique controls allow the reader to see and hear any mixture of language for both text and narration. “Hearing the Chinese and seeing the English text, or vice versa, is something many language educators have requested,” commented Rick Toone, Creative Director of Still Motion Media. “Furthermore, by adding multiple languages, more children will be able to enjoy this MobiStory,” he continued. “Exposure to alternate languages is something kids don’t have access to in a traditional textbook on this kind of subject matter. It’s just another way interactive apps open up learning in new and different ways.”

Photos of Michelle, the President and their two daughters, Sasha and Malia are cleverly depicted as snapshots within a camera body. When the user “taps” the camera, a shutter sound will be heard, the photo will enlarge, the caption will appear and the narration and accompanying sounds will begin. Utilizing iPhone functionality, double tapping the photo brings it full screen on the handheld device.
