Zeina w Rami bel beit (At Home) Storybook

This storybook set comes from Leghetna, created by Marie and Heba, two Lebanese moms in Montreal with a shared mission to preserve the beauty of the Lebanese dialect for the next generation. Their work is designed for families who want spoken Lebanese to feel natural, familiar, and joyful at home.

3 Stories at Home with Zeina & Rami follows the siblings through everyday moments in the kitchen, the playroom, and at bedtime. Each story is written entirely in spoken Lebanese using Arabizi, so no Arabic letter reading is required. This makes the book especially accessible for parents who speak Lebanese but do not read formal Arabic.

With warm, expressive illustrations and a speech-therapy-informed approach, the stories introduce new vocabulary through repetition, routine, and context. Children learn Lebanese the same way they learn daily habits through familiarity and play.

Why families love it:

• Written fully in spoken Lebanese (Arabizi), no Arabic reading required

• Three relatable, home-based stories kids recognize and enjoy

• Designed using a speech-therapy-based learning approach

• Suitable for ages 2–10, for read-aloud or independent reading

• Includes one bonus vocabulary sheet per story

A cozy, practical way to bring Lebanese language and culture into everyday family life.
