Free YOMU bookmarks, headed your way 📚
Kids love a good bookmark, and they love Tomo even more. So we made a whole stack to give away free to the schools, libraries, book fairs, and bookstores putting good books into little hands every day.
They are sturdy, brightly illustrated, and made for readers of all ages, from first picture books to deep-in-a-chapter-series kids.
Want a bunch to hand out? Comment and tell us roughly how many readers you are hoping to reach. We will send the right amount your way.

Whether your kid is a bookworm or a "I'll read later" type, there's a challenge out there to help them stay in the pages all summer long — and most come with prizes (free books, pizza, even a trip to the National Book Awards 👀).
We rounded up 6 of our favorites:
🇺🇸 @whitehouse Summer Reading Challenge

🏕 @readingisfundamental Summer Reading Challenge
📚 @barnesandnoble Summer Reading Program

The hardest part isn't signing up — it's keeping the momentum going once camp starts and the reading log gets buried in a backpack. That's where we come in. 💛 @yomuapp helps your child set a goal, track books and pages, and actually see their progress all summer long.
Which challenge is your family taking on this year? Drop it in the comments 👇
