A W-Fun story: The Adventures of Wanda-Luu is a story that reminds you, through the character of Wanda-Luu, that you are your own best friend, especially when no one else seems to understand.

Using simple rhyme and colorful, fun graphics, the story deals with the discovery of a helpful tool for getting to know the "two yous" inside each of us.

Combining elements of traditional story telling with sound psychology, Dr. Wendy has created a tale that helps kids (and adults as well) dig into the imaginative process of self-inquiry.
