What does こゆびくらい mean? I found this word in a children"s book.

The complete sentence is:

> むかし むかし こどもが いない おじいさんと おかあさんが かみさまに おねがいを すると **こゆびくらい** の おとこのこが うまれました

From this I understand:

> A long time ago and Grandfather and Grandmother that couldn`t have child so
> crave god...

question
translation
What does こゆびくらい mean?
小指{こゆび} is a "little finger"

くらい indicates an approximate quantity or size (in this case)

So together with の they mean "about the size of a little finger" and refer to
the boy (おとこのこ), who was born.
