About this app

Discoveries that broaden your child’s world and reflect your values.

Sama is a library of picture stories about animals, nature, and our wonderful world, for children ages 4–7 and the grown-ups who read with them. It brings together reliable facts, real photographs, and gentle lessons in gratitude, reflection, and kindness toward living things.

We believe exploring the world is an opportunity to appreciate the greatness of its Creator. Our stories remind children that God created this world and everything in it, using simple language that encourages wonder and care for the life around them. Every story draws on trusted sources and is reviewed before publication.

MADE FOR READING TOGETHER
Sama has no narrator, on purpose. It is made for you to read to your child: a bedtime story, or a quiet moment discovering something new together. Your voice, your questions and your laughs are the best part of every story.

Something to discover in every story
• Real photographs that bring animals and nature closer.
• New words in Arabic and English, highlighted throughout the story and revisited at the end.
• A surprising number to help children picture sizes, weights, and distances.
• A thoughtful question to spark a conversation with your child.
• Real animal sounds in many stories.
• Short, optional questions at the end.
• Answers for grown-ups to questions children often ask.

Time to share
Sama is about reading, wondering, and talking together. Read with your child, listen to their ideas, and discover something new together.
