Her welcome

Hello from Tally

When a child welcomes Tally, she says hello like this.

Tally says: Hello, hello! I’m Tally, and I glow! I love counting stars, and tonight I counted all the way to you. Whenever a path looks dark, I’ll fly ahead and light the way. Ready? One, two, three, follow my glow!

Welcoming Tally

Tally could join your child’s stories

Children earn stars by listening to stories and answering a few questions. When they’d like to welcome Tally, a grown-up says yes, and she joins their stories from then on.

Welcoming Friends comes with a plan. On a free account, children still earn stars and keep them.
