About this listen

In a trio of droll stories, award-winning author and storyteller Atinuke debuts an endearing and enduring character with plenty to prove. Tola lives in an apartment in the busy city of Lagos, Nigeria, with her sister, Moji, who is very clever; her brother, Dapo, who is very fast; and Grandmommy, who is very bossy. Tola may be small, but she’s strong enough to carry a basket brimming with groceries home from the market, and she’s clever enough to count out Grandmommy’s change. When the faucets in the apartment break, it’s Tola who brings water from the well. And when Mr. Abdul, the tailor, has an accident and needs help taking his customers’ measurements, only Tola can save the day. Too Small Tola evokes the urban bustle and rich blending of cultures in Lagos through the eyes of a little girl with an outsize will - and an even bigger heart.

I am nigerian American and I just listened to this with my son, who has never been to Nigeria and he loved. I myself felt a great sense of nostalgia listening to the story. And the narrator does a great job with the accents. Reminded me of my time in Lagos when I used to visit as a kid. Atinuke is a great author and if her knack for story telling was this good (even though it was pretty short.) I will definitely give her other works a try.

Very enjoyable
