*Inclusive Books for Children*
A great children’s book set in Nigeria, Lagos with three short
stories connected to one another. A unique sense of realism and
childhood joy and adventure mixed in this book. Loved the beautiful
illustrations.
*NetGalley Reviewer*
Having read and enjoyed the first book, I knew I had to read the
second. I was not disappointed as yet again the charming character
of Tola shone through in the three short, linked stories. I love
the dynamic between the family members and the black and white
illustrations. I'm looking forward to sharing this with the
children at school.
*NetGalley Reviewer*
Readers and listeners will be charmed by these tales, which as
always, celebrate family, community and love, as well as trying to
find answers to sometimes tricky concerns. Onyinye Iwu’s
illustrations are full of warmth and gentle humour adding to the
delights of Atinuke’s text.
