The easiest way to teach your kids Cantonese — without screens! As seen on Fast Company & Forbes 👀
Habbi Habbi created a series of gorgeous and beautifully designed bilingual books that pairs with their easy-to-use Reading Wand to make them come alive.
The Reading Wand provides instant, accurate pronunciation, so it is possible for non-native parents to offer screen-free bilingual learning! (Check out the product videos to see it in action!)
Their books are awesome as they feature topics that are progressive and modern, like diversity, inclusiveness, sustainability, and strong female role models!
Plus, they're so fun! They are incredibly loved by little readers. Don't just listen to us, check out what other parents have to say!
This Starter Set is a perfect entry into Habbi Habbi's bilingual world of learning. It includes one (1) Reading Wand and five (5) English-Cantonese hardcover board books:
- Book of First Words
- Animals, Plants & Places
- Foodie Friends
- I Love My Body
- Book of Seasons
The text is written in English and Conversational Cantonese, using Traditional Chinese script, with inline Jyutping. The Reading Wand reads in English and Cantonese. Learn more about Habbi Habbi's decision to use Conversational Cantonese here.

How It Works
One wand
You only have to buy their Reading Wand once — the same wand works with ALL Habbi Habbi books, in any language (they currently carry books in both Mandarin, Spanish, Hindi, Korean, French, and Cantonese, with more languages coming!). As they release new titles, you can easily update your wand's content for free.
So simple... just tap!
Simply turn on your wand and tap — anywhere, on any page, in any of their books. Every inch is tappable — text, image, even white space! Kids love that there is instant feedback!
Books NOT screens
Their wand and books offer the benefits of technology — instant, accurate pronunciation — WITHOUT a screen! Parents don’t need to be native speakers to support bilingual learning.

Returns
Per official Habbi Habbi policy, there are no returns for international orders.
As much as possible, we encourage you to discover the brand before purchasing, since books are heavy, and shipping them back and forth has a high cost on the environment!
There are different ways to discover the product before making the purchase, including: watching this 2-min video which shows the product in action, viewing individual book pages for previews and descriptions of each spread in our product listing here, or sending specific questions to us or to Habbi Habbi.
