Book Details
Raya held her first spider when she was just four! She loves to roam around the backyard looking for creepy crawlies. One day she spots a spider as big as her palm – an Argiope anasuja, her scientist mother tells her. Raya watches it closely, and discovers it doing something strange.
A simple storyline and dramatic illustrations draw children into the web of this spider. Once in, they get to meet a multitasker who is an architect, web designer, silk spinner, weaver and above all, a protective mother. A book that changes the way they might look at small critters.
