Glinda's mother
The Sunset Fairy
Painter of the Evening Sky
Every evening, Glinda's mother climbs to the edge of the day with her paint pots and an enormous brush.
Apricot, rose, purple, gold: she sweeps them across the sky in great generous strokes, and the whole valley looks up.
When a storm once spilled her paints, she discovered she could borrow colors from reflections without taking anyone's color away.
