Timeless stories to share in English and Arabic, engagingly retold for young readers.

This exciting collection of eight folktales presented in parallel English and Arabic text brings together favorites from a storytelling tradition rich in humor, warmth, and gentle life lessons. Drawing on oral and written sources from across the Arabic-speaking world, award-winning author Hadil Ghoneim has crafted a fun and unique anthology for heritage language learners as well as anyone seeking to introduce young readers to diverse cultures. With free online audio you can read-aloud and listen along to each story in both languages!

The stories include:

Goha and His Son: The beloved folk character Goha teaches his son that it's impossible to please everyone
A Tale About Friendship, Part One and Two: A turtle, a crow, and their animal friends show that when we help each other out, we can overcome any challenge
The Woodcutter and the Lion: A woodcutter uses his quick wit to outsmart a lion
And four more great stories!
