Piccolissima

A cradle made from half a coconut swings from a clock’s pendulum—and its one-inch passenger is already itching to leap out.

Piccolissima, daughter of the famous Tom Thumb, lives in a world where a poppy leaf makes a bonnet and an acorn cup is a roomy chair. But her parents’ care can’t keep her curiosity still: a tobacco drawer, a dish of eggs, even the family cat may spell disaster for someone so tiny. One February evening, left alone on the mantel, she hears a murmur and discovers two flies speaking nearby. At last she has companions—and a chance to explore the lives of the little creatures around her. What secrets will their conversation open up?
