FAQ

Questions and answers

Straight answers about our books and how they're made.

Are the books really free?

Yes. Every released book is free to download from its book page as a PDF, an EPUB and a full MP3 narration. There's no payment, sign-up or email address needed, and nothing is sold on this website.

Can I print or share them?

Yes, please do. You can print them, read them in class, and pass the files on to other families, schools and libraries, as long as they stay free and unchanged. Please don't sell them.

What ages are the books for?

Our picture books are written to be read aloud to children aged about 4 to 8. Each book page shows its own age range.

What formats are there?

Each book comes as an illustrated PDF (picture on one page, story on the facing page), an EPUB ebook for e-readers and reading apps, and an MP3 audio narration of the whole book. Each book page lists the formats and file sizes.

Are the books available in print?

We don't sell printed copies. You're welcome to print the free PDF at home or school. It's laid out on US Letter landscape pages (11 × 8.5 inches). On A4 paper, choose “fit to page” when you print.

Who reads the audio narration?

The narration is read by a computer-generated (text-to-speech) voice, not a human narrator. You can play the whole narration on each book page or download the MP3. The voice is credited on each book page.

Are the books Islamic?

The stories themselves are about values most families share, like honesty, patience and kindness, so any child can enjoy them. Most books also include a short Islamic values section that links the lesson to verses of the Qur'an and hadith, with exact references. The quotes are English translations of meaning, checked against their sources, and each book page says whether a scholar has reviewed them. The section can simply be skipped if it isn't relevant to your family.

Do you use AI?

Yes, and we say so on every book. We use AI tools to help draft the stories, to make the illustrations and to produce the narration voice. Each book is checked before release, and each book page lists exactly which parts used AI.
