HECKERTY’S STORY

Meet Heckerty is the first storybook in a series. Heckerty’s endless, funny mistakes with her magic, the adventures of her loyal cat Zanzibar, along with her fellow witches and wizards make marvelous stories for adults and children.
Created by Ezra & Ann Rachlin (one of England’s most famous storytellers), thousands of kids met and loved this funny, green-faced little witch. Adults around the world have improved their English with Ann’s many storybooks and records.

Now Jan Ziff’s extraordinary storyteller performance brings Heckerty to life in the great British storytelling tradition of Winnie the Pooh, Beatrix Potter, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan & Harry Potter. This superb narration and creative animations in traditional style make Heckerty ideal for entertaining bored children, bedtime stories, and helping kids discover the joy of reading.

Heckerty is also an educational storytelling tool that improves English reading in children and adults. SLPs and other specialists have seen a response in children with autism and other special needs. Meet Heckerty is a rewarding experience that all ages will enjoy repeatedly on their smartphones and tablets.
Autism Speaks lists Heckerty on their website; the app is also being used for ESL (English as a second language), by Speech Language Pathologists (SLP) for ADHD, dyslexia and autism. The many five-star reviews around the web show the magic of this green-faced witch’s story for young and old alike.
