Two children wander into the forest and meet the fauns who live there. All day, the fauns speak of one who is coming—someone who brings laughter, flying, and games. When he finally arrives, he is not what the children expect. Told in the style of the Brothers Grimm, The Child Who Stayed is a dark fairytale about wonder, choice, and the moment when one child follows the sky while the other returns home. A quiet story of enchantment and consequence, meant to be listened to slowly.
