Too Small Tola Books in Order

Small Tola lives in Lagos with her siblings and grandmother, where everyday errands bring unexpected challenges. Across three stories, her strength, arithmetic, and determination help her family and neighbors discover that size does not determine capability.

Tola faces three new challenges in her busy Lagos household, from finding a missing treasure to helping when Grandmommy falls ill. When new clothes seem beyond reach, her ingenuity offers another way to feel fine.

A virus and lockdown scatter Tola's family and prevent her grandmother from working. Taking a job in a wealthy household, Tola encounters unfamiliar difficulties and draws on her resourcefulness while longing for her family to reunite.

With lockdown over, Tola returns to her family's crowded Lagos flat. Being home brings comfort but does not end every difficulty, and she must use her kindness and practical intelligence to tackle problems both familiar and personal.
