In this well-written and -designed app, Walter finds an abandoned bus and with his friends they start to fix up the bus. When it comes to life the children realize their dreams are not only inspirational, but also have the power to carry them to what they desire the most: families that will love them forever.

Inspirational

Walter’s Flying Bus has an inspirational message for any child who has had a rough go of it. Children with special needs of any kind will get a great message of support and encouragement through this great book. Additionally, if you speak a language other than English, then you can view it in Spanish or Luganda, which is the primary language of Uganda.

I also love that there is a great musical score to accompany the story. The autoplay feature really helps kids keep up to the correct page as they’re reading along too. If you love the story, you’ll love the short documentaries that are included in the app as well. You will require a wi-fi connection or data though to do so. I love how this app recognizes and celebrates each child’s beauty and dignity regardless of their scars, disability, or any other variation from normalcy.
