Why Nimmo
Children grow through the stories they hear about themselves
A child is a seed, family is the soil, and stories are the water. So we write stories your child can see themselves in, each growing one value at a time. Nimmo means growth in Arabic, because every book is a small step on a big journey.

A Journey Along the Coast
- Grows: belonging
- Ages 4–9
On a morning that smells of warm bread, your child wakes up to a surprise: a long trip in the yellow car along the coast! From the walls and aqueduct of Akka, to the squares and gardens of Haifa, the Roman theatre of Caesarea, and the cinemas and clock tower of Yafa, through al-Majdal, all the way to the al-Rimal neighbourhood in Gaza, where cousin Ahmad is waiting… and the sea. A warm story about belonging, curiosity and family that introduces your child to the cities of the coast and their stories, and gives them roots to carry wherever they are in the world.
What this story grows
That your child loves where they come from, and feels proud of their roots, language and family.
