SPIDER!

This book makes everyone shout, SPIDER! while creating a teachable moment for kids to learn about fear. Use SPIDER! to explore how fear can cause us to become frozen and speechless. A silly librarian guides readers through this fun and interactive story. She invites them to shout on behalf of a little boy frozen in fear and speechless at the sight of a spider. An adorable arachnid friend gives up his space in the park for a gentle mom with a fearful son. The goal of SPIDER! is not to overcome the fear of spiders, though it may help with that, it is a subliminal call to examine our own fears and what they are founded in. Readers will see a harmless spider just as fearful and frustrated as the boy with each epic encounter. Shout and have the satisfaction of letting fear out! Read, SPIDER! Then read, SNAKE! and BEE! Continue to interact with different aspects of fear. SNAKE! is a whimsically funny story that explores being trapped in the fear of the unknown. Coming soon, BEE! is a cheerful and uplifting story that sends readers a powerful message on how to overcome fear.
