Summary:
A mysterious, tiny being upsets the balance of the Burnt Spruce Forest. A lone, defenseless pupa drifts down from the sky. An assembly of talking birds and trees agree to protect "Bitsy" as she begins to metamorphose--but into what? As the humanoid creature starts showing a predilection for flight and music, magical clues start unveiling themselves. Nymph gets to the heart of both human and Mother Nature to prove that, to raise a childlike larva, it takes a village. Or at least a forest.
