Why Choose Tuma's Books?

Good morning!! I just wanted to express, that your work is enriching lives, and I am so grateful to have found you. I had always given poetry a shrug, simply because the poetry we read in school was always so... not up my alley. And then I received your March book club (Poukahangatus) along with a surprise book, (Corazon) and I have found a new found love for poetry, and see that I may have just been looking in the wrong places this entire time. Those two poetry books resonated with me so much, I am now expanding my collection, and found Velvet Dragonflies by Billy Chapata. I am already so in love with this book, and I have you to thank for that. So thank you, thank you for doing what you do each and every day, because truly, it does make a difference. May you have a lovely rest of your day :)

Reading journals are the best!

I’m in a new “Decolonize Your Reading” book club and I gifted the club members with Tuma’s reading journals. They were a HUGE hit! 😊📚 Thank you, Tuma!

Such a Fun Monthly Surprise!

I absolutely love the thrill of getting my bookmark and sticker subscription each month! It always brings me joy 😊 Tuma picks really great things to include, and I like learning about the different makers she gets these items from. This month’s Peruvian bookmark was absolutely beautiful! My wife saw it and said she wants to sign up now too :) Thanks for this fun monthly surprise that helps me through all the chaos of teacher/doctoral student life!
