This is a contemporary retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale. It’s about a tiny girl just the size of your thumb. The tiny girl becomes separated from her overprotective mother, has adventures with various animals, and records her feelings in a diary as she gains self-reliance and searches for someone to love.
