Arabic · العربية

Arabic children's books, read aloud — the same story in Arabic and the language your child is growing up in.

The library shelves near you don't always hold Arabic. BookCloud does: a free, ad-free children's library of openly-licensed and public-domain stories, in Arabic and the other languages your family speaks.

Any book can be switched between languages, page by page: the same illustrated story in Arabic and your family's other language, narrated so your child can listen as they read. Read tonight in العربية; tomorrow in the other. تصبح على خير.

Why we built it

Arabic bedtime stories, wherever you live.

Your child speaks Arabic with you and the local language at school. The same book in both, with the same illustrations and characters, keeps each language close.

Add your family's languages and switch a book between them, page by page. The library is growing language by language — stories you can read together, or your child can listen to alone.

A page of 'The Three Little Pigs' being read in Arabic in the BookCloud app — Add Arabic and your family's other language, then switch book by book.

Who it's for

For families who carry Arabic with them.

Arabic families abroad. In London, Paris, Toronto or Sydney, your child lives the day in another language and comes home to yours. The same story in Arabic and in theirs keeps both close.

Mixed-language homes. One parent speaks Arabic, the other a different language. One book, both languages — each of you reads in your own.

Families learning together. Maybe Arabic is a language you're learning rather than one you grew up with. Each story is read aloud, so your child can listen and you can learn alongside them.

Safe by design

A reading product, not an attention product.

Reading time should be calm time.

No ads. Not in the books, not between them, not anywhere your child can see.
No games. No points, no streaks, no reward loops.
No price. Free, with no subscription and no upsell.

Get the app

Bring Arabic stories home.

BookCloud is free, on the App Store and Google Play. Open the library, read together, and switch between Arabic and your family's other language book by book. If you're a native Arabic speaker who could help review a translation, or you want to tell us what your family is missing, say hello.
