"Too Small Tola lives in an apartment with her clever sister, Moji; her big brother, Dapo; and Grandmommy, who is very bossy. In the first of three endearing new adventures, Tola is sized just right to wriggle under the bed and rescue Grandmommy's prized possession when it goes missing. Her savvy and math skills save the day when Grandmommy gets sick, and when the family can't afford new clothes, industrious Tola finds a way—with a little help from Grandmommy—to be just as fine as the three fine girls she so greatly admires. Acclaimed storyteller Atinuke's captivating wit evokes an authentic and close-knit urban community and the vibrant energy of Lagos, Nigeria, through the eyes of a tiny but resolute heroine with something to teach us all."

      Just as Tola is small but mighty, these short stories are bursting with heart. Narrator Mutiyat Ade-Salu's bright tone conveys the joy and strength of Tola as she gets into mischief while home alone with her siblings, goes to work when her grandmother gets malaria, and learns how she can be fine like the wealthier girls she sees. Ade-Salu uses an American accent for the narrative and Nigerian accents for the dialogue to reflect the story's setting, the megacity of Lagos. Though Tola's life has its troubles, she perseveres with help from her community and family. Ade-Salu's melodious voice keeps the stories fun and well aimed at younger elementary kids even when their topics become serious. This second Tola collection is an excellent family listening experience. S.T.C. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
