Book Synopsis

"I wish I had watched more sunrises. I wish I had joined the circus. I wish I had been more kind."

As he awaits the spider's inevitable return, a fly caught in a web ponders the life he led and the dreams that passed him by. He is soon joined by a gnat who also wishes for more time to pursue her passions and be a better friend. In this unforgettable picture book from New York Times Bestselling author Gideon Sterer, an extraordinary community is formed. One by one, the doomed insects in the spider's web share their most intimate wishes, offering one another comfort and solidarity.

Their moving words turn the heart of the spider -- who returns and decides to free them from the web and join them in living out his own cherished dreams. With enchanting and witty art from award-winning illustrator Marc Majewski, The Spider's Web is a beautifully moving story about appreciating everyday life, following your dreams, and forging true friendship along the way.
