“ Children in cities need to step beyond their world to experience diverse cultures, landscapes, and lives, not as abstract lessons but through stories that truly move them. Stories have the power to break barriers and bring light into their lives. In my search for such stories, Thumbi stands out. Among children’s publications in India, it is bilingual, thoughtful, and filled with stories and visuals that open new doors. Thumbi sparks curiosity, nurtures wonder, and has the power to light up young minds.”

“Thumbi children’s magazine is a true weapon of peace. At a time when the world is filled with violence, it shares stories of kindness and connection, reminding us that non-violence and compassion are the only battles worth choosing.”

“It amazes me that Thumbi magazine, with its beauty and richness, is created by a small group of friends. It is a gift for children, filling their minds with stories and colors that nourish like food. Placing Thumbi in a child’s hands feels like one of the greatest offerings we can give.”.
