'I started reading and couldn't put it down. It's the kind of book
I wish I'd had when I was a kid' Joseph Coelho, Children's Laureate
‘This book is revolutionary’ Kelechi Okafor, actor, writer and
podcast host An eye-opening story of Britain, focusing on a part of
our past that has mostly been left out of the history books: Black
British history. Did you know that the first Britons were Black? Or
that some of the Roman soldiers who invaded and ruled Britain were
Black, too? Join this fascinating journey through the ages to meet
those first Britons, as well as the Black Tudors, Georgians and
Victorians who existed in every walk of life here. The incredible
journey through time is brought to life through Atinuke's
fascinating storytelling and illustrated scenes, detailed maps, and
timelines created by illustrator Kingsley Nebechi. From science and
sport to literature and law, celebrate the brilliant Black people
who have helped build Britain. Learn about key and complex
historical topics such as the world wars, slavery, the industrial
revolution, Windrush and the Black Lives Matter movement. This
fascinating book will change everything you thought you knew about
our green-grey British isles. ‘We would recommend this book to
any child, adult or teacher’ Stop Hate UK

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 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.
