Synopsis

Deep in the forest, quietly nestled on the undisturbed soft earth, lives a small yellow spider. Look closely. You might be able to see it move. Look closer still. You might be able to see the world. Let the spider draw you in. Soon its world will become your own. Dream Weaver. A little boy happens upon a tiny yellow spider in the forest and becomes captivated. As he watches the busy spider weave and work, his fascination draws him in until every detail in the spider's world is as large and vivid as in his own. That night, asleep in his bed, he thinks of his encounter and returns to the spider's world in his dreams. Includes a page of facts about spiders.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Discover a spider's magical world with DREAM WEAVER
"This woodland idyll spins the delicate tale of Yellow Spider, an orb weaver. Magnifying the spider's hidden world, London writes his lyric prose in second person while Baviera spotlights the initial spider sighting, then cleverly introduces a boy viewer with whom readers can readily identify. Publisher's Weekly (starred review)

"London's text is gentle and peaceful, chronicling the actions of the spider as his world becomes the child's. . . . Baviera's illustrations perfectly convey the poetic tone and tilt of the text, yanking readers right into the tiny milieu.." - Kirkus Reviews END
