Is the Arabic natural, or translated?
Each story is written directly in Arabic, not translated from English. Every story comes in Fusha with full tashkeel for school, and retold in your family's dialect for home: Egyptian, Levantine or Gulf.
Fusha or dialect?
Both. Fusha with tashkeel builds reading for school; your dialect keeps them talking with family. Same pictures, one tap to switch.
How much is it?
The first story is free. Then the Bedtime Club is $9.99 a month or $79 a year for 4 new stories a month.
Is it safe?
First name only, no photos. Every request is screened before anything is made, and every story is gentle, with a calm bedtime ending.
