Leunartti, an interactive storybook for teaching language to small children. For this, I wrote my own animation library in Javascript so that the resulting app could be tested on a browser and the packaged into iOS and Android apps. For general information, see Leunartti info page. The test version of the app can be tried on Chrome and  Safari browsers from Leunartti web demo, although this is not as robust as the actual iOS and Android versions.
