Read Alouds

During the time of school closures worldwide in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, QFI released read-alouds of various children’s books, working with authors, publishers, and writers from across the Arab world.

Each read-aloud features works by Arab authors from the Arab world and Arab diaspora, in both English and Arabic.
