This “faithful retelling” of the Hans Christian Andersen tale is “a jewel box of a work whose pages invite lingering” (Publishers Weekly).

From bestselling and multiple award-winning artist Sylvia Long comes an exquisite version of Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved tale about a thumb-size girl and her larger-than-life adventures. Jewel-toned paintings depict the story’s settings, from light and airy meadows to Mole’s dark and dismal underground home—while whimsical details bring the classic cast of characters to life and make this story-time favorite a visual feast.

“Her watercolors bring out the wonder of the natural world with an almost emotional intensity.” —The New York Times Book Review

“The illustrator has made a lush and vivid world for her Thumbelina to inhabit.” —Kirkus Reviews
