meet our mascots

zaka

Meet Zaka, a cute khargosh (rabbit) with big bounce and an even bigger love for qandol (sweet) words. She hops around collecting her favorite loghat (word) to share with you.

Peek into her snack basket and you'll spot anar (pomegranate) and toot (mulberry), her two must have treats.

Zaka is the cheerful heart of our Afghan editions, bringing a little brightness to your word journey.

bana

Meet Bana, a curious gorbeh (cat) who loves learning new kalameh (words). She's always listening for fresh ones and keeps a little stash of her favorites tucked away just for safekeeping.

In her treat tin, you'll usually find lavashak (fruit leather) and mahi (fish), two things she can never choose between.

Bana is the playful spirit of our Iranian editions, always keeping an eye out for the next word worth learning.

about zabanak

What began as an Afghan-American mom filling a gap for her Afghan-Iranian child has grown into zabanak: joyful materials for bilingual learning.

Because they deserve both languages 💛
