Presents three tales of an endearing and enduring character, Tola, who lives in an apartment in the busy city of Lagos, Nigeria, with her sister, brother, and grandmommy. - Random House, Inc.
Three delightful tales from a renowned Nigerian storyteller introduce a chapter-book heroine who is every bit as mighty as she is small.
In a trio of droll stories, award-winning author and storyteller Atinuke debuts an endearing and enduring character with plenty to prove. Tola lives in an apartment in the busy city of Lagos, Nigeria, with her sister, Moji, who is very clever; her brother, Dapo, who is very fast; and Grandmommy, who is very bossy. Tola may be small, but sheâs strong enough to carry a basket brimming with groceries home from the market, and sheâs clever enough to count out Grandmommyâs change. When the faucets in the apartment break, itâs Tola who brings water from the well. And when Mr. Abdul, the tailor, has an accident and needs help taking his customersâ measurements, only Tola can save the day. Atinukeâs trademark wit and charm are on full display, accompanied by delightful illustrations by Onyinye Iwu. Too Small Tola evokes the urban bustle and rich blending of cultures in Lagos through the eyes of a little girl with an outsize willâand an even bigger heart.
