At Agafay Books, we publish books for all ages, united by one conviction: Moroccan stories matter, and they deserve to be told with the same literary ambition found anywhere in the world.

For children, we seek stories where the characters, landscapes, humour and tenderness are recognisably Moroccan, not as decoration, but as a way of saying that these lives and places matter. Moroccan children deserve to see themselves in the books they read. Our children’s books are organised into five collections, each one a door, or bab, into a different world:

• Bab El Fenn (art): children step into a Moroccan artwork and come out artists.
• Bab El Jabr (mathematics): everyday Moroccan objects make numbers intuitive and playful.
• Bab Tamazgha (Amazigh culture):  the tales and legends of Morocco’s Amazigh regions, saved from fading and passed on as our grandparents told them.
• Bab El Wijdan (emotions): a face, a story and a name for every emotion.
• Bab El Nouar (nature): the fauna and flora of Morocco told as stories, from the argan tree to the Atlas lion.

For young adults and new adults, we publish works that reconnect with Moroccan history, heritage and identity, and that reflect the full richness of Moroccan life: its contradictions, its beauty, its modernity and its depth. A generation that knows where it comes from is better equipped to decide where it is going.

In a world where information is one click away, books matter more than ever: they offer time, attention, and a story in which readers recognise themselves. Every title must be literarily worthy and genuinely meaningful for its reader.

We publish today the stories that will shape tomorrow’s Morocco.
