Review quotes
Tina Tumbles is a fun, lyrical story with an important message woven beneath the storyline: teaching kids to get back up when they fall down, and to give it their all, no matter how many times they face defeat. These are messages that I hope to instill in my own children. Tina shows kids that with a little persistence and a positive attitude, anything is possible.

Tina Tumbles is [Everly's] favorite book. She does cartwheels, and we go to baby gymnastics class. I got her to wear a leotard because Tina wears one!
-Jenna Dewan Tatum, Us Weekly Magazine, October 2015
Growing up as a member of the Cuban national team, I know how difficult the sport of gymnastics can be. Motivational tools are essential in our sport and a children's book that teaches kids to keep trying after a 'tumble' is an ideal way to reach children of all ages and abilities. Tina Tumbles is a great avenue of showing gymnasts the importance of perseverance, determination and commitment all while having fun! -
