A Web for All Seasons

Description

Age range 5 to 9 A bored spider wants to quit spinning webs but she can't have new adventures without maintaining the rituals that define her. Little Spider spins her webs all day, every day, until one day she grows bored and declares she is done with spinning. But through each season, as she seeks the new adventures she desires, she finds spinning a web is necessary. A beautifully written tale about self-acceptance and appreciation of one's own gifts with lyrical language that makes it a delightful read-aloud.
