Childhood is full of "firsts" – first swimming lesson, first plane ride, first trip to the dentist, first haircut, and the list goes on. While parents celebrate each discovery, many kids think new experiences are scary stuff.

Now there's an educational way to turn fear into fun and confidence. Luca Lashes is a line of children's eBooks and interactive apps based on a boy with magic eyelashes that give him special brave powers. Follow Luca as he (and his parents) conquers fearful firsts, from brushing his teeth to visiting mommy in the hospital. A parent's section at the back of each book highlights key teaching concepts and offers questions parents can use to prompt learning opportunities. The concepts are mirrored in the user experience as kids and parents discover new technology and interact with the words and illustrations.

The series is available in English, French, Italian and Spanish.
