A day in Egypt, with words to learn along the way

A child-focused introduction to Egypt unfolds through details of an ordinary day: candy-colored boats, the beat of tablas, and warm pita bread. Arabic words appear throughout with pronunciation guides, making language part of the book’s exploration of place. Endmatter adds further insights into life in Egypt, extending the picture beyond the scenes in the story. Written by Egyptian author Aya Khalil and illustrated by Magda Azab, the book brings together everyday cultural details and an introductory glimpse of a country in the Middle East.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Babies and preschoolers being introduced to places and cultures
  • Young children and caregivers interested in Arabic words and pronunciation
  • Families looking for a picture book about everyday life in Egypt
