Turkish · Türkçe

Turkish children's books, read aloud — the same story in Türkçe and the language your child is growing up in.

The library shelves near you don't always hold Turkish. BookCloud does: a free, ad-free children's library of openly-licensed and public-domain stories, in Turkish and the other languages your family speaks.

Any book can be switched between languages, page by page: the same illustrated story in Turkish and your family's other language, narrated so your child can listen as they read. Read tonight in Türkçe; tomorrow in the other. İyi geceler.

Why we built it

Turkish bedtime stories, wherever you live.

Your child speaks Turkish with you and the local language at school. The same book in both, with the same illustrations and characters, keeps each language close.

Add your family's languages and switch a book between them, page by page. The library is growing language by language — stories you can read together, or your child can listen to alone.

A page of the Turkish folk tale 'Keloğlan ve Sihirli Mühür' being read in Turkish in the BookCloud app — Add Turkish and your family's other language, then switch book by book.

Who it's for

For families who carry Türkçe with them.

Turkish families abroad. In Berlin, London, Sydney or Toronto, your child lives the day in another language and comes home to yours. The same story in Turkish and in theirs keeps both close.

Mixed-language homes. One parent speaks Turkish, the other a different language. One book, both languages — each of you reads in your own.

Families learning together. Maybe Turkish is a language you're learning rather than one you grew up with. Each story is read aloud, so your child can listen and you can learn alongside them.

Safe by design

A reading product, not an attention product.

Reading time should be calm time.

No ads. Not in the books, not between them, not anywhere your child can see.
No games. No points, no streaks, no reward loops.
No price. Free, with no subscription and no upsell.
