CTR Review
Created in Mexico, this beautiful, touching story deals with a hard but necessary subject; death and dying (or coming and going). The conclusion, after about 14 watercolor and color collage screens ... "it is so." There are no religious messages.

The content comes from a book by Paloma Valdiva. Each page is set to a peaceful piano score. The interactivity is minimal, and the Spanish narration is better than the English. The book could create a context in which to discuss a difficult subject. This is one of the most nicely illustrated apps we've seen.
