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.
