Thumbelina, Wrestling Champ

A parent might reach for this book when their child feels underestimated, overlooked, or believes their small size is a disadvantage. This graphic novel powerfully flips the classic Thumbelina fairy tale on its head. Here, Thumbelina is not a passive damsel in distress; she is a mighty wrestler who discovers that her tiny stature is actually her greatest strength in the ring. The story is a funny, action-packed adventure that explores themes of self-confidence, resilience, and finding your own power. For kids aged 6 to 9, it's a fantastic, visually engaging way to show that being different is a superpower and that you can define your own story, no matter what others expect.
