CyKidWorld Invites Families to Read Illustrated Adventures in Arabic and Five Other Languages
What would your child ask a talking tree? At CyKidWorld, that question is the start of an adventure. The illustrated story world created by Gabriel Nicolaev – CyGuru invites children and their families to explore eight stories in Arabic, English, Romanian, Russian, Spanish and Simplified Chinese.
A question opens the door
CyKidWorld begins with the kinds of questions children ask on their own. What might a forest be able to tell us? What happens when a small star loses its way? How would a robot learn about kindness? CyKid and CyLuna explore those questions alongside CyUni, CyBot and CyDog. The group gives young readers several characters to follow as the stories move from a forest to planets and distant stars.
The digital books pair illustrations with chapters and discovery activities. Children can look closely at a scene, pause to make a prediction and see what happens on the next page. Families can begin anywhere on the shelf and choose by the cover or by the question that makes a child curious.
Three stories to start with
For a first visit, try The Secret of Vega and let your child look for clues in the pictures. The Forest of Questions gives families a natural prompt before they turn a page: if you could ask a tree one question, what would it be? CyBot and the Kindness Code offers a different starting point. After reading, ask your child to name one small act of kindness they noticed and one they might try themselves.
The shelf also includes CyLuna and the Lost Little Star, CyKid and the Skykeepers of Venus, CyKid and the Planet of Living Light, CyKid and the Sleeping Titans, and CyKid and the Secret Paths of the Night. Let your child choose the next title. The choice often tells you what they want to talk about that day, whether it is a lost star, a mysterious planet or what they imagine happens after dark.
Read in Arabic or choose another edition
The Arabic edition opens directly from the link below and is laid out for right-to-left reading. CyKidWorld is also available in English, Romanian, Russian, Spanish and Simplified Chinese. Use the language selector to switch editions. A child can follow the pictures while a parent or grandparent reads in the language they are most comfortable sharing.
Visit CyKidWorld with your child, let them pick a cover and read the first chapter together. Before turning the page, ask them what they think will happen next. After the story, give them a turn to invent a question of their own.
