Young Toni has stories in her pockets and big ideas in her head. She is sure that words can do powerful things, maybe even spin themselves into gold.
Inspired by the life and work of Toni Morrison, this tall tale follows a young storyteller as she sets out with her siblings on a search for treasure. Along the way, Toni looks for magic, shapes her adventure with words, and discovers that the way a story is told can matter as much as what happens inside it.
Small-Girl Toni and the Quest for Gold is an imaginative picture book with a biographical note, blending playful adventure with a tribute to one of America’s great writers. It is a rich choice for readers drawn to creativity, language, history, and the power of storytelling.
