Thumbelina is as sweet and delicate as the flower she was born in, and no bigger than her mother's thumb.
She grows older, but no taller in their happy home until she awakens one morning to a terrible surpise: an ugly
mother toad has kidnapped her and wants Thumbelina to marry her even more awful toad son. So begins
Hans Christian Anderson's classic story of hardhip, adventure and friendship in a wild and wonderous world
filled with helpful fish, braggy June bugs, and a mysterious mole. Thumbelina may be small, but her life is full
of big adventures in this beautiful picture book illustrated with the modern paintings of Kelly Vivanco-a
treasure to share with generations to come.
