Tom Thumb

A woodcutter and a woodcutter had seven sons. They were very poor. The eldest being only ten years old, none of their children could earn money. The youngest was very small. At birth, he was hardly bigger than a thumb, which led to his being called little Thumb. The story of Tom Thumb has nothing mysterious for older children: the abandonment in the forest by the parents, the path strewn with small white pebbles, the return of the seven brothers, and again, the abandonment by the parents with little Thumb who this time sows bread crumbs that will be eaten by the birds, the confrontation with the Ogre who will devour his daughters by mistake and will pursue little Thumb and his brothers with the seven-league boots... How to bring something new to this well-known traditional tale? It will be through the graphic treatment due to a very talented Iranian illustrator, with bright colors and unexpected geometric shapes down to the smallest detail.
