Storybooks That Speak Two Hearts, Endegena.
Mizan Kids brings beloved Ethiopian folktales to life with warm, hand-drawn illustrations and true side-by-side bilingual text — so kids everywhere can giggle, gasp, and grow up bilingual, one clever hyena and wise tortoise at a time.
🌍 Shipped Worldwide 📖 Print + Digital Bundles 🎨 Hand-Drawn Illustrations
Built for little readers, deep roots and all
Every book is designed so a child can read in Amharic, English, or both — and never lose the magic of the story in translation.
Truly Bilingual Pages
Amharic and English text sit side-by-side on every spread — not an afterthought, but designed together from page one.
Hand-Drawn With Heart
Every hyena, lion, and clever rabbit is illustrated by hand in warm gouache textures — no clip art, no shortcuts.
Folktales Passed Down
Retold from oral Ethiopian storytelling traditions, kept playful and age-appropriate for children 3–8.
Three favorites to start your shelf
Every title is available as a printed hardcover, a digital read-aloud edition, or a bundle of both.
The Rabbit Who Outsmarted the Hyena
A quick-witted rabbit teaches a boastful hyena that brains beat brawn every time.
The Lion and the Little Mouse
A gentle retelling about unlikely friendship, kindness, and keeping your word.
The Girl Who Raced the Wind
A spirited highland girl challenges the wind itself — and learns what patience can win.
One story, two languages, every format
Our Print + Digital Bundles pair a beautiful hardcover with an instant digital download, so bedtime stories travel with you — grandma's living room in Addis or a rainy Tuesday anywhere else in the world.

Bedtime, now in two languages
My daughter now points at words and asks "is that Amharic or English?" — she's proud of both.
The illustrations are gorgeous and the stories are exactly the ones my grandmother told me.
Finally a book my son and his grandparents can read out loud together, each in their own language.
