Description

The Spiders Song is a remarkable new childrens picture book, written by Dr. Simon Longstaff and illustrated by Dutch artist Marc Van de Griendt.

The Spiders Song follows the story of The Boffin, a young scientist who dares to compete with Mother Nature and build his own perfect world. Believing in his exceptional brain and grandiose abilities, the Boffin, retreats into an enchanted world of worralots, midbits, PhtPhts and nuffin grass, weird and wonderful creatures all of his very own creation.

That is until one common little spider ventures into his world and teaches The Boffin the most important lesson of all, one he cant learn in any textbook.

With subtle messages woven throughout, The Spiders Song teaches children the value of self-confidence, needs, wants and desires, loneliness, connectedness, humanity and love.
