An FWA for the Annecy studio hocusbookus
The digital book Mr Sandman, Fear of the Dark has won the FWA (Favourite Website Awards) Mobile Award, a prize given to websites with an avant-garde design. For its first venture into digital, hocusbookus opted for a particularly artistic look with silhouettes and original music. Targeted to 3 to 7-year-olds to help them overcome their fears of the dark, Mr Sandman is currently available in 9 languages on iPad and will soon be seen on Android tablets.
A much appreciated prize that rewards "the original creativity in interactive writing" that comes from hocusbookus, a digital kid's publishing studio created in Annecy in September 2011 by Manon Aidan and Yanick Gourville.
