Welcome to Kan Ya Makan Publications

Where tales of wonder intertwine with the familiar cadences of everyday life. Our journey began with a simple mission: to craft stories that not only captivate young minds but also resonate with the Arabic they hear and speak every day.

Kan Ya Makan translates to "Once Upon a Time,"

and at the heart of our mission is our unwavering commitment to engaging content. We believe in the magic of a good story — the kind that makes children's eyes light up with curiosity and joy. Our books touch upon a medley of themes, each chosen with care to captivate the attention and imaginations of young readers.
But our tales do more than just entertain. By incorporating spoken Arabic alongside Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha), we aim to bridge the gap between the literary world and the intimate, everyday conversations that take place at home. These are the words and phrases our children grow up with, the ones that form the backdrop of their earliest memories. We're passionate about reinforcing this linguistic bond, making our books as relatable as they are educational.
Moreover, we recognize the importance of shared reading moments between parents and children. That's why we've designed our books to be easy-to-read for everyone, ensuring that bedtime stories or afternoon reading sessions are both enjoyable and enlightening.
