Here's one that slipped right past us, but waved hello at the NY Book Expo a little while back. Inspired by her daughter's love of shadow play before bedtime, mother and former Google veteran, Natalie Rebot created Moonlite, a children's story book projector that attaches to almost any mobile phone and uses the flashlight of the phone to project vibrant story images onto the ceiling or wall. Moonlite brings storybooks to life with a modern twist on traditional storytelling that makes reading a fun and memorable event for both children and parents.
Rebot launched her initial prototype and concept on Kickstarter.com where funding goals were surpassed ten-fold, with more than 40 million views to date on the product's original video. As a result, Moonlite caught the attention of retailers, celebrities, receptive mothers and Spin Master who embraced the partnership.
