Kurdish books for kids

Bilingual English-Kurmanji books for children aged 3 to 8

The My First Kurdish Books series helps families share Kurmanji through familiar topics, simple layouts, and bright illustrations children actually want to revisit.

What makes this series useful

Each book focuses on practical categories children already enjoy, which makes repeated reading easier and helps Kurdish feel more present in everyday family life.

Ages 3 to 8

Start with first words, colours, animals, and food for younger children, then move into practical sentence building as confidence grows.

Built for diaspora families

These books were created to help children growing up outside Kurdistan keep hearing and using Kurmanji at home in a simple, joyful way.
