Too Small Tola and the Three Fine Girls: three short, charming and funny family stories set in modern day Nigeria, perfect for emerging readers and bedtime, by an acclaimed African storyteller
Atinuke, Onyinye Iwu
Three charming stories about a young girl who lives in a flat in Lagos with her sister, Moji, who is very clever; her brother, Dapo, who is very fast; and Grandmummy, who is very bossy. Too Small Tola is just the right size to fit under the bed and rescue Grandmummy’s most prized possession when it goes missing. Her abilities in maths prove to be very helpful when Grandmummy becomes ill. In the title story, though Grandmummy can’t afford to buy Tola new clothes, Tola turns out to be just as fine as the three fine girls she so greatly admires. A book full of heart and humour by multi-award-winning author and storyteller Atinuke, with artwork by Onyinye Iwu, a fabulous new talent in children’s illustration.

I love this book. I learned lots about Nigeria and how they don't have much money. I learned about how it was hard for them to go to school, but how hard their grandmother worked to look after them. Exciting to learn.

Thumbs up for Tola, a good book. Tola because she saves her granny’s earring. Yes, because Tola is the smallest but she saves the day.
