A lovely book by @onichum which goes to prove that you are never too small to achieve things, that is, if you make sure you never give up and you think that obstacles are only there to be climbed over! Tola is just wonderful! 😀 #siambookawards2023 @PatanaLibrary @BangkokPatana

Adorable Tola shows us that you're never too small! Too small Tola by #Atinuke and illustrated by @onichum is one of our Siam Book Awards, Younger Reader Shortlisted books, for 2023. @PatanaLibrary @BangkokPatana @book_siam #siambookawards2023

This book hits hard in a way that is initially unexpected, due to the fact it is written in verse. @marikonagai2012 concocts a powerful story about the lengths you might go to to look after the ones you love. #siambookawards2023 @PatanaLibrary @BangkokPatana

It’s a good job that mainstream schools do not operate in this way! A different take on a school of magic that is eminently readable - give it a try … how long would you last as one of the pupils? 😀 #siambookawards2023 @naominovik @BangkokPatana @PatanaLibrary
