When Princess Diana wanted to send her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, to weekly musical storytelling sessions as part of their education (click the links to see rare photos of the young princes), she chose my mother, Ann Rachlin.

So when my mom asked Allan and me whether we were interested in bringing one of her favorite story characters to mobile devices, we jumped at the chance!

Bringing Heckerty's gentle, zany adventures to life for kids around the world was just too good to pass up! I had grown up with Heckerty's magic and we both loved my mother's many CDs and books (iTunes, Amazon).

You see, I was the first to hear her wonderful stories, many of which later became those CDs and books. Heckerty, one of my mom’s favorite characters, stayed on paper for the last 40 years because mom always felt such a marvelous personality needed more than a CD, DVD or book could offer.

Now we've brought to life our inimitable, green-faced, 409-year old, zany witch and her extraordinary adventures!
