Two sides of a story in one book. The famous tale of Thumbelina, roughly as we know it, but also the story... differently, seen from another perspective. How can a parent abandon their children in the forest, no matter how difficult things are? And since Thumbelina was so clever, didn't he know that the breadcrumbs wouldn't last long in the forest? And if he was so tiny, how could such a huge Giant see him from above? The resourceful reporter, Phanis the Owl, is determined to uncover what lies behind the words of the well-known fairy tale. A book that talks about growing up, cooperation, and how to face our worst fears. A tool for parents and educators that teaches children to read between the lines and develop their critical thinking.
