A quiet story that intricately weaves the stories of a mother, an angry and abused boy, an old woman and two fairy like creatures, Gossamer is a perfect bedtime story.

Littlest One is a fairy like creature that delivers dreams to humans as they sleep. She is still being trained and she is a curious, playful little thing. Her teacher sees the potential in her and guides her through the processes that suddenly become much more difficult when the Sinisteeds appear.

Short and sweet. Truly.
