Children see themselves reflected in the stories, connect with their AI-powered “Listening Friend,” and build emotional intelligence through a multimodal system:
Illustrated Books
Bring the Blumy Friends to life through beautifully crafted storybooks
Interactive App
Discover fun, immersive activities to nurture emotional intelligence
VR & Smart Glasses
Enhance the experience with optional virtual and augmented reality
Created by a world-class team with clinical, neurodivergent, and longevity expertise, Blumy Friends is more than a platform—it’s a movement to make every child feel seen, safe, and strong.
The Problem
Today's children are overwhelmed:
  • 1 in 5 experience anxiety or depression by age 15.
  • 20%+ are neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, etc.).
  • Parents & schools lack engaging tools to support emotional and cognitive development.
  • Later in life, many struggle to manage their thoughts, feelings, jobs, and relationships — issues rooted in unmet emotional needs during childhood.
Market Needs:
  • Accessible emotional literacy tools that help children understand and express their feelings.
  • Safe, calming environments (both physical and digital) that support self-regulation and resilience.
  • Integrated wellbeing and neurodivergent learning solutions that meet kids where they are.
  • At-home support systems for parents and caregivers to nurture emotional growth between sessions and school hours.
  • Relatable characters and stories that help children feel seen, understood, and inspired to grow.
Our Solution:
Where Emotions Bloom into Confidence
Blumy Friends is a next-generation emotional wellness platform. Designed for neurodivergent children aged 6–12.
We combine story, science, and technology together. Kids understand emotions, build resilience, and thrive everywhere.
  • Emotional Awareness: Building vocabulary, empathy, and literacy
  • Neurodivergent Learning: E.g. Dyslexia, ADHD, autism support
  • Resilience, Wellbeing & Self-Esteem: Science-backed tools and rituals building confidence and calm
Blumy Friends Offering - A 5-Part Ecosystem for Emotional Growth
1 - Illustrated Book (Series)
8 characters. 8 emotional journeys.
Each story is inspired by real-life experiences of neurodivergent children — from dyslexia and ADHD to grief, sensory overload, and identity struggles.
These illustrated books build emotional literacy by:
  • Helping children see themselves in characters with both superpowers and struggles.
  • Offering gentle language for difficult emotions, building vocabulary and confidence.
  • Creating moments of recognition, so children feel less alone in what they're experiencing.
  • Including QR codes that link to app and VR activities for continued engagement beyond the page.
2 - AI-Powered App
A personalized emotional coach and wellness toolkit for your child.
The app adapts to each child's responses, offering:
  • Daily emotional check-ins through their chosen "Listening Friend" avatar.
  • Mindfulness and breathwork routines for calming the nervous system.
  • Gamified rituals for gratitude, movement, nutrition, and sleep — backed by longevity science.
  • Emotion journals with color-coded reflections to build awareness and self-regulation.
  • Affirmation coaching to nurture confidence, self-belief, and a growth mindset.
💡 Parents receive gentle, non-invasive insights through the caregiver dashboard — promoting connection without surveillance.
3 - School Integration
Plug-and-play learning that builds empathy, emotional intelligence, and community. Blumy Kids can be used in classrooms as:
  • A discussion starter — students reflect on character decisions, offer advice, and share perspectives.
  • An SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) tool — aligned with core emotional learning goals like empathy, resilience, and perspective-taking.
  • A peer-connection tool — kids learn they're not alone, and grow through shared experience.
