Drawing, one stroke at a time.
A line appears on the page. Your child traces it, hears a friendly hint, and earns a star. Stroke by stroke a finished picture arrives, and it is theirs to colour in.

Three ways to draw
Every drawing can be done three ways. A child moves through them at their own pace, and the third one is where the drawing sticks.
Trace
The line stays on the page. Draw straight over the top of it. Nothing to get wrong.
Follow
The line appears, then fades. Watch where it went, then draw it yourself.
Memory
No line at all. Draw it from what you remember, with only the spoken hint to help.
What is inside
The library is built for a child in Bangladesh, and works anywhere.
Letters and numbers
Bangla, Hindi, English and Arabic alphabets, traced from the real letterforms rather than approximated. Numbers from one to a hundred.
Amar Desh
The rickshaw, the hilsa, the shapla, the national flag, the nouka and the village hut. Things a child here already knows by sight.
The world
Animals, farm animals, sea and river life, insects, fruits, vegetables, food, festivals, vehicles, cars, shapes, nature, home, games and 111 country flags.
Places and scenes
Tea gardens, the Sundarban, the long sea beach, hills and waterfalls. Bedrooms, kitchens, playgrounds, markets and rooftops.
Turn a photo into a drawing
Point the camera at a toy, a colouring book or the family cat.
1. Take the photo
From the camera, or from pictures already on the phone.
2. It becomes a sketch
The app thins the picture down to its outlines and works out the order to draw them in.
3. Draw it
It is saved as a lesson of their own, with colours sampled from the photo itself.
Photos never leave the phone. The conversion happens on the device, with no server involved.
