TOO SMALL TOLA

Listeners will love hearing Amaka Obiechie's lively voice as she shares stories of Tola's life in Lagos, Nigeria. Young and sweet-voiced Tola and her family live in an apartment in the bustling city. Everybody calls her "Too Small Tola" because she is so little, but a trip to the market with her stern but loving Grandmommy helps her discover that she is also mighty. Obiechie projects Tola's pride when she finds she is strong enough to stand up for herself and others, and clever enough to help an injured tailor when he can't bike around town to measure his customers. Obiechie's smooth Nigerian accent and steady pacing add ambiance to the busy streets and the many characters throughout these sweet and funny stories.
