Simmie the Nine-Legged Spider: Simmie's Search for Friendship

By Belle Deane

Book Overview

What if the spider everyone rejects is the one they need most?

Simmie is a nine-legged spider with a big heart and a special talent for weaving clever little things to help others. Yet no matter how kind or helpful he is, the other spiders laugh at him, ignore him, and leave him out. More than anything, lonely Simmie wishes for one true friend.

When a family comes to picnic beneath his tree, Simmie quietly helps them in every way he can. Yet every time they catch sight of him, they shoo him away. How can Simmie show them that a spider who looks different can still be a wonderful friend?

Perfect for children ages 3-8, fans of Strictly No Elephants, Stick and Stone, and The Very Busy Spider will love this heartwarming spider picture book about kindness, compassion, perseverance, friendship, and belonging.

Young minibeast lovers will enjoy meeting Simmie the Nine-Legged Spider while learning to look beyond appearances and appreciate the kindness of others.

Will the family finally discover who has been helping them all along?
