About Zanoura Kids

Stories worth growing up with.

Zanoura Kids publishes original personalised storybooks for Arabic-speaking families. Your child is the illustrated hero of a story about something that truly matters in their world.

Why Zanoura exists

A story built around the moment your child is living.

We believe a child should be able to open a book and find their own world inside it: their feelings, their family, and the moment they are growing through.

So every Zanoura Kids book begins with a story worth telling, about a moment your child is actually living through: a first goodbye, a new baby at home, a big feeling, a brave step. Then your child becomes its hero.

What makes a Zanoura story

Made with intention, page by page.

  1. An original story

    Every title begins as an original Zanoura Kids story, written around the moment it is about.

  2. A real childhood moment

    Stories are built around situations children truly meet: feelings, changes in the family, first times and the everyday courage of growing up.

  3. Your child, illustrated as the hero

    Your child is the hero of the story, in their own name, illustrated with features inspired by the photos you share with us.

  4. Arabic that reads naturally

    Each language is written on its own terms, so the Arabic reads warmly and naturally aloud, never as a stiff translation.

  5. Family, where the story includes them

    When a story is about Mama or Baba, they can be part of the book too.

  6. A preview before anything is final

    You review the cover and sample pages before your book is finalised.

Human judgement in every story

Educator-led. Research-informed. Human-reviewed.

Educator-led

Our core stories are shaped by educators around real moments in a child's life.

Research-informed

Stories about feelings and behaviour are informed by parenting and child-development research.

Human-reviewed

A real person reviews every story before it reaches you, checking the language, the coherence and how well it fits your child.

Illustrations are created with AI assistance. The editorial decisions stay with people, and so does the responsibility for every book.
