About Koruma

Welcome to Koruma

Koruma is a world of valleys, rivers, forests and ancient stories, where ordinary lives are touched by quiet mysteries.

Some places are remembered in stories.

Some paths begin in silence.

In Koruma, listening can change everything.

What kind of world is Koruma?

The World

Koruma begins in the Twin Valleys, where Jegede and Tumo stand side by side beneath the presence of the Listening Tree.

How does the path unfold?

The Journey

Across ten connected books, Koruma will widen through new paths, landscapes, communities and mysteries, while the first steps remain rooted in the Twin Valleys.

How does the companion help?

Reading Together

The companion offers places to explore, puzzles to solve and moments to reflect while keeping the book itself at the centre.

It is made for readers, families, classrooms and libraries: a gentle way to linger with the story, notice more and keep wondering.

Why are these stories being told?

Why We Tell These Stories

Koruma celebrates curiosity and courage. It honours friendship, memory and the wisdom carried through stories. It invites readers of every age to slow down, listen and look again.
