Raff Publishing will release 92 Disney stories in the Middle East and North Africa region — in countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, and Oman — as part of the agreement. The 92 titles, which include 44 stories in English and 48 stories translated into Arabic, span famous Disney franchises such as Marvel and Star Wars. “Raff Publishing is focused on enhancing the availability of Arabic-language children’s books catered to the changing needs of our youngest reading audience,” said Paula Scott, general manager of Raff Publishing. “In addition to delivering top-tier Arabic-language literary material, this collaboration with Disney serves as a significant component of SRMG’s forward-looking strategy for growth and expansion.” The newly published titles are currently available at the Riyadh International Book Fair, which concludes on Saturday at King Saud University, and at major Saudi book retailers.

Disney is the latest addition to SRMG’s list of partners, which includes Warner Bros. Discovery, Bloomberg, The Independent, Billboard, and Shueisha.
