Sounds Like: When the story opens, a woman receives a magic seed from a barley corn. Once planted, a tiny girl emerges from its flower. The woman names the child Thumbelina. One night, Thumbelina is asleep in her walnut-shell cradle and is carried off by a toad. She escapes the toad and drifts on a lily pad until becoming the captive of a beetle. The beetle discards her when his friends reject her company. Thumbelina tries to protect herself from the winter cold. She is finally given shelter by a field mouse and tends the mouse's home in return. The mouse suggests Thumbelina marry her neighbor, a mole. Thumbelina finds the prospect of being married to a mole unattractive and escapes the situation by fleeing to a far land with a swallow she nursed back to health during the winter. In a field of flowers, Thumbelina meets a fairy prince just her size and they wed. Thumbelina receives a pair of wings to accompany her husband on his travels from flower to flower. Now take that and add fighting for justice with what little strength you have (i.e. fists of tangerines) and the rest is gravy.
