Eid gifts for Turkish families
The Muslim feast days when children traditionally receive gifts, twice a year.
What Eid is
Eid al-Fitr (at the end of Ramadan) and Eid al-Adha are the two major Muslim celebrations of the year. Children traditionally receive gifts from parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. For Arabic-speaking diaspora families in Germany, the UK, or the US, a bilingual Arabic-German or Arabic-English wordbook is a thoughtful Eid gift that honors both the family's Arabic roots and their life in the host country.
For Turkish families raising children in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, France and Belgium, the worry underneath the gift-buying is usually the same one: whether this child will still speak the language when they are ten, or whether it will fade the way it does in most families by the second generation. A book helps most when it is the language actually spoken at home.
Most Eid gifts for children are clothes or sweets. A book in the family's own spoken dialect, rather than the Modern Standard Arabic nobody uses at home, is something that lasts well beyond the day.

Common questions
What is a good Eid gift for a Turkish family?
Most eid gifts are clothes, sweets or money, and none of them are still around a year later. A bilingual Turkish wordbook goes into the family library and gets read at bedtime for years, which is a different kind of present entirely.
Can I send this across borders?
Yes. Books print on demand inside each Amazon marketplace, so an order placed from one country is printed and posted locally in the destination country. No international postage, no customs. Readers of the Turkish books are mostly in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, France and Belgium.
How accurate is the Turkish?
Every word is cross-checked against Turkish dictionaries and carries its own confidence score, visible on the word pages. The books have not been through a full native-speaker editorial review, so corrections from readers are welcome and earn a free corrected copy.
