Tola may be small, but she's very determined!
Lockdown is over and Too Small Tola has returned to the crowded family flat in Lagos, Nigeria. Even though she is back home and safe, there are still plenty of problems for Tola to solve - including her own. She may be small, but she is also thoughtful and kind and clever – and there really is no problem too big for Too Small Tola.
Three captivating short stories full of warm, witty characters. * Inclusive Books for Children *
A great children’s book set in Nigeria, Lagos with three short stories connected to one another. A unique sense of realism and childhood joy and adventure mixed in this book. Loved the beautiful illustrations. * NetGalley Reviewer *
Having read and enjoyed the first book, I knew I had to read the second. I was not disappointed as yet again the charming character of Tola shone through in the three short, linked stories. I love the dynamic between the family members and the black and white illustrations. I'm looking forward to sharing this with the children at school. * NetGalley Reviewer *
Readers and listeners will be charmed by these tales, which as always, celebrate family, community and love, as well as trying to find answers to sometimes tricky concerns. Onyinye Iwu’s illustrations are full of warmth and gentle humour adding to the delights of Atinuke’s text. * Red Reading Hub *
