Sallie with the Seven Legs

By Kyler McCleland

Book Overview

What happens when you no longer fit the label you were born with?

Sallie loves to climb, explore, and see the world from up high. But one rainy fall changes everything. When Sallie loses a leg, she also loses something even bigger: her confidence. Suddenly, being a tarantula with seven legs feels impossible.

Determined to discover who she is now, Sallie sets off on a journey through forests and deserts, meeting creatures who seem so sure of themselves. A proud stag beetle. A fierce centipede. Each encounter leaves Sallie wondering where she belongs.

It is only when Sallie meets someone just like her that she begins to understand an important truth: you are not defined by what you lose, but by what you can still do.

A gentle, empowering story about self-acceptance, resilience, and finding confidence after change, Sallie with the Seven Legs reminds young readers that being different does not make you less. It makes you you.
