When Princess Diana wanted to send her sons, Princes William and Harry, to weekly musical storytelling sessions as part of their education, she chose Ann Rachlin. Ann created many wonderful characters which went on transcend storytelling to become books and later CDs. But her best loved character, a green faced witch called Heckerty, stayed on paper for over 40 years. The evolution of mobile phones and tablets has set Heckerty free – finally there is the perfect medium to introduce a new generation to this inimitable, 409 year old witch and her mad adventures. And now the world is being given the opportunity to vote for Heckerty in the Mobile Apps Showdown of 2012.

Heckerty is a zany, 409-year-old, upside-down-on-her-broomstick, green-faced witch. Happy, hilarious, helpful – Heckerty enchants and educates kids everywhere.
Bored in the car? Fidgety in the bank? Fractious in line for the TSA? Let your kids tune into Heckerty’s adventures and while they laugh at her mad antics and help her put things right, they learn words, vocabulary and spelling while their little fingers learn precision and coordination.
Love From Heckerty is designed with LiveCode for iOS, Android and Amazon Fire. Rich and interactive, kids follow Heckerty and her cat, Zanzibar, to magical places filled with stories, games, puzzles, as well as dinosaurs, wizards and dozens of cousins.
From Broomstick Productions Inc, Heckerty is the creation of Britain’s Royal story-teller, and comes from a long, literary heritage of wizards and witches. She may have a green face but her heart is pure gold.
