A Gecko. A Boy. A Sustainable Solution.

Step into the magical world of Chuk, a heartwarming children’s picture book that blends music, curiosity, and environmental mindfulness. When young Abdullah discovers a gecko mimicking the notes of his oud on a warm Middle Eastern night, an unexpected friendship begins. But when Chuk and his gecko friends make their way inside the family villa, Abdullah and his sister, Meera, must learn how to solve the “gecko problem”—in a way that’s kind to creatures and the planet.

Perfect for bedtime or classroom read-alouds, Chuk is more than just a charming animal story—it’s a gentle introduction to sustainable living, ecosystem balance, and problem-solving with empathy. Richly illustrated and filled with warmth, humor, and Middle Eastern cultural touches, this book offers educators and homeschoolers a meaningful story to support STEM and nature-based learning.

Whether your child is fascinated by animals, afraid of lizards, or simply curious about the natural world, Chuk helps children see the value in every creature—and shows how simple actions can protect biodiversity right in our own backyards.
