Thumbelina

Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale, "Thumbelina," tells the enchanting story of a tiny girl who emerges from a flower. Her peaceful existence is shattered when she is stolen by a toad mother intent on marrying her to her son. Thumbelina's adventures continue as she escapes, navigates the natural world, befriends a swallow, and evades other creatures who wish to claim her. This tale is a beautiful exploration of resilience, independence, and the search for belonging, culminating in her finding a flower-fairy prince just her size. Ideal for children aged 4-11, it offers rich opportunities to discuss themes of courage, kindness, and making one's own choices.
