Souf and the Family Picture
Dressed in a new white djellaba, Souf joins his family at Grandma’s for Eid al-Mawlid. With his favorite tagine on the table, excitement and temptation threaten to get the better of his manners.
Stories to read and color together
Souf at School Stories is a collection of 15 illustrated children’s stories following Souf, an 8-year-old boy, through everyday adventures at school, with his family, and in his Moroccan community.
Each story offers a “read-and-color” experience: text in English, French, and Arabic is paired with a corresponding illustration for children to color.
Designed for both printable books and interactive digital use, the collection brings together storytelling, language discovery, and creativity, inviting children to engage with Souf’s world and make it their own.
