Yes. We send you a link; you forward it to her on WhatsApp or by text. She taps it, presses one big record button and talks. No app, no account. If that's still too much, record her on your own phone next time you call or visit, and email us the file.

$45 USD per book, plus flat shipping. Want all three? All 3 books for $109 instead of $135, until 31 Dec.

Every book is made to order at $45. We email you a digital preview of your whole book, usually within a day of your order. Once you approve it, we print your hardcover straight away and ship it with tracking. Delivered in about 7 to 12 days across the US and Canada, once you approve your preview. These are typical times, not guarantees. If anything changes, we'll email you straight away, and you can choose a full refund.

Every page has the English line first, then the same line in spoken Lebanese (the way Teta talks, not formal Arabic) in Arabic script. You can read the whole book aloud in English, and Teta, or anyone who reads Arabic, can read the Lebanese. Your child hears both.

Ages 2 to 7. Little ones love hearing their name and Teta's voice. Older kids start reading the English on their own and collecting the words for their jar.

No. The illustrations are the same in every book. What makes it yours is your child's name, Teta's real voice, your family photo painted on Teta's wall, and your dedication.

Any clear family photo where faces are easy to see. You can upload it when you order or reply to your order email with it later, any time before your preview. We paint it in the book's style and you'll see it in your preview.

A printable kit (a fold-up paper jar and word cards) that we email with every order. Print it at home, and add one Lebanese word a night, just like in the story. Share yours with #TetasJar.

Of course. Grandparents, aunts and godparents order it too. Write the dedication from you, and ship it to any address in the US or Canada. Teta can still record her message from wherever she lives.

Yes, until you approve your preview. Just reply to your order email.

You're covered twice. First, we email you a full digital preview, usually within a day, and nothing is printed until you approve it. Not in love with it? Reply and we'll refund you in full. Second, if the printed book isn't what you hoped, email us within 30 days of delivery with a photo and a quick note on what wasn't right, and we'll refund you in full. You don't need to send it back. If it arrives damaged or misprinted, we'll reprint it for free, or refund you if you prefer.

No. No religion, no history, no politics. It's about family, food and language, so every Lebanese family can share it.

The illustrations are made with digital and AI tools under our art direction, and every page is checked and corrected by hand. There are no reviews yet: this is the very first edition, and you'd be one of our first families.
