Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Thumbalina of Toulaba is a children's picturebook retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale, with a twist. Set on an imaginary island in the Caribbean, Thumbalina of Toulaba follows a dark-skinned Thumbalina born of a flower. Ill-treated by her normal-sized siblings, and beset by would-be suitors of every species imaginable, Thumbalina must learn how to stand up for herself and say "no", and find her destiny with the help of a beloved bird of paradise friend. The simple yet brightly colored painted illustrations bring the birds, beasts, and plants of all nature add a vivid touch to this gentle story about learning confidence and strength.
