Too Small Tola

by Atinuke

Too Small Tola may be little, but she’s full of determination and strength. Living in a flat in Lagos with clever sister Moji, speedy brother Dapo, and bossy Grandmummy, Tola often proves she’s more capable than anyone expects.

Whether it’s carrying a heavy basket home from the market, fetching water when the taps stop working, or helping Mr Abdul the tailor in a hurry, Tola shows that being small doesn’t mean you can’t do big things.
