A gecko. A boy. A sustainable solution.

When Abdullah hears a strange sound echoing his oud music on the balcony, he discovers an unexpected guest: a house gecko he names "Chuk." But when Chuk and his gecko friends sneak into the family villa, chaos follows-and so does a creative, eco-friendly plan to guide them back outside.

Set in the Middle East, Chuk is a beautifully illustrated picture book that blends humor, heart, and environmental awareness. Children will love the lively story and characters, while parents and educators will appreciate the gentle lessons on biodiversity, empathy, and problem-solving.

? Perfect for ages 8-12

? STEM-aligned and sustainability-themed

? Includes a DIY gecko trap activity using recycled materials

? Features fun facts about house geckos

? Culturally rich setting with Arabic names, oud music, and family traditions

Whether you're reading aloud at bedtime or exploring science and nature in the classroom, Chuk is a joyful, thoughtful story that inspires curiosity and kindness toward all creatures-big or small.
