Thumbelina was born within the petals of a flower. She was no taller than a thumb.The Steadfast Tin Soldier had only one leg. The Ugly Duckling was ridiculed because of his unusually large size and looks.

These are the heroes in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales. Compassionate, humble, and courageous.

Be open to the possibilities within those who do not fit the typical profile of a hero.
