IZI, pronounced as “ezee,” meaning “fly” in Tamazight (Nador), is a children’s book that offers a wealth of educational benefits. It tells the story of a cute little fly, IZI, who is on a quest for food. As IZI flies around the house, getting into all sorts of trouble, children have the chance to learn words in Tamazight (using Tifinagh script & Latin) and English. Parents can share this enriching experience with their children in either or both languages. This engaging book not only facilitates language learning but also enhances cognitive development, making it a valuable resource for Amazigh parents living in the United States and other English-speaking countries.
