About Us

We deliver 100's of books monthly to families worldwide!

Our founder grew up in the States struggling to learn Arabic because of the low quality Arabic children's books that were available. Finally learning Arabic as an adult, she created a subscription service that she wished she had! Providing high quality Arabic books that actually make children WANT to read in Arabic! We are dedicated to sourcing, providing, and producing the best Arabic children's books!  

We love books!

Founded in California in 2018, Arabic Book A Month is made up of a team of book lovers and authors who are dedicated to providing you with the very best Arabic children's books every month. We believe that providing children with a quality education is the best gift we can give them. Our customers value the time spent reading with their little ones, sparking discussion and connection. Their family is their highest priority. Caring for their child is not circumstantial; it is routine.
