Dear mamamia, firstly, it was not a fairy tale. It was real and happened.
Please see the comments from native English speakers:

I forgot to say, also the double 't' in teeny tiny, gives strength and the ending on 'y' makes it little! Thats what was in my mind!

I choose for teeny tiny, because it is also a two-in-one description, because of the long list of alternatives Taner Bey give with it and because petite means in French just little and has nodouble meaning fot me. Besides that most of all important for me the term comes out of the book 'Su Çılgın Türkler' and is sayd about Halide Edip. I know her only from this context but here she is described as a little but very strong woman, who is going to speak to the women in Ankara in the war! I think is like a fairytale and petite has for me not the same double term strength in this context! Hope you understand!

mamamia, what's the reason of your selection? You have selected this answer despite peer agreements, and I am wondering the REASON of it?

''teeny-weeny (tiny) = minicik, minnacık'' demektir ve böcek vb için kullanılır. Kadınlar için ancak ya Hollywood filmlerinde ya da masallarda kullanılır. Buradaki bağlamla alakası olduğunu sanmıyorum.
