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.
Tolu may be small, but she's very determined.
Three delightful stories about Too Small Tola, a young girl who, though small, is very determined. Tola 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. Tola proves to be stronger than she seems when she goes to market with Grandmummy and manages to carry home a basket full of yams and vegetables, chilli peppers and fish. When the taps in the flat don't work, it's Tola who brings water from the well, and it's Tola who saves the day when Mr Abdul, the tailor, needs his goods to be delivered quickly. Too Small Tola is a wonderful new character in the world of children's books by multi-award-winning children's writer and storyteller Atinuke.
Tola may be small, but she's very determined! Too Small Tola 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.
One day Tola discovers the secret of multiplication and division.
She is so happy! But then there is news of a deadly virus, and news
of lockdown too. Moji goes away to live and study with her teacher
and Dapo goes off to live and work with his boss. Grandmummy cannot
go out to work so Tola does instead. Tola goes to live with a
wealthy couple, the Diamonds. She cleans and washes and scrubs,
scrubs, scrubs. She befriends the other workers too. But she soon
learns that even the wealthy Dimonds have problems of their own.
And when it comes to solving them, Tola proves once again how kind
and clever, mighty and resourceful she truly is.

My Skin Your Skin is a powerful book to help children and adults
have meaningful discussions about race and anti-racism. Most
importantly, the book empowers children to be the best versions of
themselves; to have self-love, self-esteem and self-worth,
irrespective of their skin colour. This book was specifically
written by Early Years expert and children's media creator, Laura
Henry-Allain MBE, to support parents, teachers and carers to
explain what racism is, why it is wrong, and what children can do
if they see it or experience it. It also explores how important it
is for children to celebrate their achievements and greatness.
Fully-illustrated throughout by talented illustrator Onyinye Iwu,
My Skin, Your Skin is aimed at children aged four and above.
Containing explanations on key words and concepts written in
child-friendly, accessible language, with relatable examples, this
book supports children's understanding in building an anti-racist
stance from an early age. It is perfect to read at home, and in
classrooms, to support your child's life-long learning journey.
"It distils the fierce heartache of racist injustice as well as a
passionate sense of joy and hope for the future." The Guardian
"From the pain of systemic racism to the hope of the future, it's
an honest but largely uplifting read, aimed at children
particularly." Evening Standard "A series of clever and witty
illustrations matched with informative text guides the reader
through a series of situations where they might encounter
prejudice, and how to form strategies to overcome a situation
before it becomes a problem." The Independent "This beautiful book
also serves as a brilliant directory of work from black
illustrators." BookTrust This groundbreaking picture book is a
lyrical, inspirational exploration of growing up Black, written by
award-winning illustrator Dapo Adeola, and brought to life by some
of the most exciting Black illustration talents working today.
Remember to dream your own dreams Love your beautiful skin You
always have a choice This book addresses - honestly, yet hopefully
- the experiences Black children face growing up with systemic
racism, as well as providing hope for the future, delivering a
powerful message to a new generation of dreamers. It's a message
that is both urgent and timeless - and offers a rich and rewarding
reading experience for every child. To mirror the rich variety of
the Black diaspora, this book showcases artwork from Dapo and 18
incredible Black illustrators in one beautiful, powerful, and
cohesive reading experience.
