What is Nana Naru?
Nana Naru is an animated grandma who explains the world to kids in short, fun episodes. Each episode answers one question, like "What is pi?", with true facts, and ends with two quick questions to check what they learned.
Who makes the episodes?
Naru, the company behind Nana. Every episode starts from a real kid's question. We write the script, check each fact against trusted sources, and animate it with AI tools. Nana's look and warmth come from our founder's mom, a teacher.
