"When a new virus separates her family and her Grandmommy can no longer go out to work, Tola goes instead and works for the Diamond family where she makes new friends among the household staff and discovers that the wealthy have problems, too"-- - Random House, Inc.
Itâs a strange, scary time for Too Small Tola when a new virus separates her family, but Atinukeâs small-but-mighty heroine proves once again how wise, kind, and resourceful she can be.
In ordinary times, Tola lives in an apartment in Lagos, Nigeria, with her clever sister, Moji; her sporty brother, Dapo; and bossy Grandmommy. Tola is so happy! But news of a new virusâand a lockdown, tooâsends Moji away in one direction and Dapo in another. Then, when Grandmommy can no longer go out to work, Tola goes instead. She works for the wealthy Diamond family and makes new friends among the household staff. But even the wealthy have problemsâand only Too Small Tola is big enough to rise to solve them. Brimming with genuine emotion and ultimately reassuring, Atinukeâs third book to feature the brave and endearing Tola, illustrated with zeal by Onyinye Iwu, shines with the light of resilience and hope.
