A poor woman wishes for a child more than anything in the world. Her wish is granted -- with a beautiful girl the size of her thumb. Named Thumbelina, this tiny beauty brings joy to her mother -- until she is stolen by a toad who wants to marry her to his son. Thumbelina's adventures and ultimate escape require her to make new friends, show courage, and find what she truly wants. This charming and classic story shows that worth isn't dependent on size -- and love can transcend all differences.
