Haley's Graces book

I live in California, my grand baby lives in Munchen, Germany.Every day I read to her over the phone, its her bed time hour and my brunch time. She loves Thumbelina and always goes to sleep on the latter parts of the story, thats the idea for me.I am buying the book so she can see the illustrations which I think are beautiful!This book will be part of her Christmas presents.
