What Readers Say

"Meeting Tokesi Akinola as both a person and an author has been a joy, and her warmth and intentionality shine clearly through her books. As a parent, I value stories that go beyond entertainment, and her writing stands out for its purposeful, values-driven approach. Rooted in her background in early years education, her stories are age-appropriate, thoughtful, and never moralising. They gently encourage integrity, kindness, courage, and wise choices, sparking meaningful conversations and influencing my children’s everyday decisions. Tokesi Akinola’s books are a true gift to both children and parents seeking stories that nurture character and purpose from an early age."
